Back on my HP-14; when I was on the Dell Inspiron 5558, checking out the antiX 23 Alpha package installer, I was also here, reporting the tests I was performing. We have made some progress on the version of the package installer, but it does need more testing; if you can help, anticapitalista has already tested multiple categories; he has asked for our assistance in testing additional categories; 1) Verify that the software installs, and 2) if you have additional time, test out the software that is installed and indicate what you have checked, and what you’ve performed additional testing on.
Here is the update on my HP-14; the xanmod1 and Liquorix kernels have been active, and both now have version 6.2 kernels available.

Been tuning up a few personal yad scripts, based on the many small ones we have in /usr/local/bin.
Wrote my own yad-update-grub, copying it from yad-autoremove and changing the invocations and names.
--
Brian MasinickBrian Masinick
Then I put my yad-update-grub on my toolbar so I can execute it.
However, I ALSO have very short alias commands that I can do to update, install, dist-upgrade, or update-grub, so I can STILL do it either way!

I’m on my Dell today, going through my systems there; I started with our “cousin”, MX Linux.
Then I went to another system that’s a descendant of what USED to be one of my favorite distributions (a very long time ago, OpenMandriva, descended from Mandriva and it’s parent, Mandrake. Though all of these are a shadow of what they once were, Mandrake was one of the early distributions that brought at least a little measure of usability to Linux at a time when there was hardly any.
I haven’t been following it much at all until I ran across an update and decided to try it and see how it’s doing. My impression is about the same. It has the lineage of the original, but I’d say it’s more or less stayed the same, though the software is current. Those who like a decent KDE Plasma distribution MIGHT like it. I say it’s OK, but I’m not impressed.
Long ago I wasn’t a fan of the original SUSE at all, and I preferred Mandrake. These days, while I’m really not a big fan of either one, I will say that ever since SUSE added the openSuSE effort, including Tumbleweed, they continued to move forward, whereas descendants of Mandrake were caught in the tension and squabbles with the parent company that led to a split; that has a lot to do with my own distancing of the project because some individuals who were the innovators were cast off once their innovations were acquired; that smells of “corporate nastiness”, hence one of the aspects of my distaste. The other, of course, was my growing interest in distributions with .deb packaging.
I’m now on a respin of our distribution, LegacyOS 2023. As we know, the core of the distribution is all antiX, just like all previous editions were respins of Puppy Linux. It’s a pleasant cosmetic variation of our distribution, and it does give due credit to our work, and even retains the name on the work in all of our software.
I’ll be visiting my antiX 23 update on this system before I finish, and will probably spend most of the remainder of the day on antiX 23.

I am using antiX 21 on a very very old computer that I was able to salvage:
HP D5044N HP Vectra VL 6 on a single-core Pentium II that runs on only 333 MHz!I checked on the age of the CPU:
The Deschutes core Pentium II (80523), which debuted at 333 MHz in January 1998.
antiX 21 runs on this old computer, although very slowly.
