I first checked out Antix a bit over a year ago, because of the live persistence USB. I was using a shuttle IPC i3 with limited memory and no hard drive. It worked perfect for the six months or so I needed it for a media server and web browsing appliance.
That system is dead now, and most of what I have listed below never ran on it by choice at that time.
When I got the system I’m typing this on, I started with Linux Mint so I could set up a Kodi appliance for a friend. Quick and easy that way.
For the last year I have been running mxLinux “wildflower” no systemd, on an old HP g62 amd laptop and It has taken a bit to get the list below working on it, but I have done so, and am quite happy with the results.
So now the goal of moving my main desktop machine completely to antiX.
Requirements are weird and maybe not possible for a successful desktop installation.
MUST HAVE:
Quake 3 Arena: All other of the quake series as well, but I usually don’t have a problem with them.
UnrealTournament GOTY: OldUnreal may have this covered finally for me. I’m currently running the Linux tar.bz on both MXLinux “Wildflower” and Linux Mint “Una”. It works flawlessly in both cases, so I have hopes.
Trilium Notes: It is one of the few things that just works for me, and I have to admit I’m attached to it. I do have a server instance on a laptop, so it will the last challenge, and I only need the desktop instance.
PaleMoon: just ’cause.
lighttpd: It works for me.
CodeTyphon Studio. It’s what I like, it just works.
I’ve created the liveUSB, hopefully I’ll get it correct to make it persistent on the first try.I begin:
Active Antix Desktop. Persistence failed first attempt. (Do it later.)
Did I mention I love the default desktop? I’ll change it of course, but it is a very nice default.
Installed. Everything hardware wise appears to be working.
It says it will take 4.5 hours to move 670G of data. I’m going to the neighbors for a beer and a doob.
Files all copied.
Quake 3 Arena: ioquake3 ran perfectly from the new home. Played a couple of levels. Perfect.
Unreal Tournament GOTY: The people at oldunreal.com have their shit together. For the first time ever, it just freaking works. Only tested the X64 version, but that is all I use.
Trilium Notes: Had to do some updates to my server as well, but I am typing this from within TN running happily on antix and synced with my server running on an mxlinux laptop.
PaleMoon: From the repository. Extensions installed, bookmarks imported.
lighttpd: Been using it for so long from source that I didn’t know until now that it was in the repo. Still have some basic configuration to do, but its working and visible from my phone.
CodeTyphon Studio. Forgot about the glibc issues with 7.80. Removed and reinstalled 7.70, works compiling several CodeOcean examples, and a couple of my own smaller things.
There are still a thousand little things to do of course, but everyone has finally allowed me to have the linux system I want.
Thank you all very much. You may notice that this isn’t the latest and best hardware.
Now it’s time to play.

Isn’t it grand when everything just works out as planned? Congrats, techcodie!
confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019
silvioto
I like your enthusiasm techcodie, and join with you. Antix is only distro that made my old 32 bit Toshiba A100 notebook usable (I wrote my first sci-fi book with it), and I am very thankful to developers for keeping this project alive. I love antix so much for its minimalist essence, and some months ago I switched from Debian with KDE to antix-icewm-rox with great satisfaction in my work and private life.

Everything working as planned, Congratulations, sometimes takes a bit of effort but agree
antiX is a fantastic distro with many options as delivered. On top an excellent lightweight
and efficient choice for customization or special projekts. Best is it supports such a wide
range of modern hardware plus continues support for 32 bit treasures.
