      Hello, completely new to antiX and coming from Solus.

      Really impressed with the speed and simplicity of antiX so far.

      I was able to fully install XFCE and I am curious about the Rolling Release aspect of antiX?

      If I make no repo adjustments and just stay with default repos am I running this as a Rolling Release? I don’t think so because I believe this is based on Stable.

      How do you make it Rolling? Switch to Testing?

      Thanks for the knowledge.

        That would get you closer to a rolling release, testing is usually stable enough.

        Linux (& BSD) since 1999

          Thanks Fatmac, so, just edit sources file and replace “Stable” or “Buster” with “Testing” and that’s what antiX means when it states that you “can” run this OS as a Rolling Release?

          Thanks.

            You need to edit antix.list and debian.list to only use testing.
            The other *.list repos should be disabled eg buster-backports,

            Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

            antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
