Hey everyone! I just discovered AntiX Linux and I’m curious about what makes it stand out from other Linux distros.
What features do you guys love the most, and what made you stick with AntiX Linux.
Always wanted one of these! Everything works!
Hi everyone. I installed antiX on an old PC for basic tasks, mainly managing product listings on Mercado Libre (an e-commerce platform). However, the CPU hits 100% usage as soon as I launch any web browser (I've tried both Firefox and Falkon), making the system extremely laggy and borderline unusable.
System Specs:
CPU: AMD Sempron LE-1150 (1 core @ 2.0 GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (using nouveau open-source driver)
RAM: 1.8 GB DDR2
OS: antiX Linux (Kernel 6.6 / Debian 13 base)
I know modern web pages (especially JS-heavy platforms) are demanding, but I would like to know if there is a lightweight JS-compatible browser or any system/kernel tweak that could help render these pages without maxing out the single-core CPU.
Any tips or recommendations for this hardware? Thanks in advance!
Just curious, for those using antiX Linux, how much RAM and disk space does it usually use after a fresh install?
Also wondering about idle CPU usage. Is it really that lightweight compared to other Linux distros?
Just trying to get an idea before I install it on an old/low-spec machine.
Hey everyone, does anyone here know how to properly install apps from Flathub on antiX Linux?
I’m pretty new to antiX and I’m trying to use some apps that are available on Flathub, but I’m not really sure what the correct method is.
Do I need to install Flatpak first, or is there something specific I need to configure on antiX?
Any help or simple step-by-step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't have a lot to tell other than I have a 2005 Dell Latitude and I installed antiX on it. Install was smooth and easy as pie. I downloaded and flashed the 32bit iso. The installer wizard is easy to set up. I had to set my clock manually, which worked fine. I couldn't get wifi working so i plugged in ethernet. I will possibly try wifi again later. I used a combo of the ROXTerminal (which is what i usually rely on to set things up on computers) and the Control Centre, which i've never used before but found painless.
That's about it. Everything works super well! I'm impressed that antiX made my 21 year old laptop usable.
I've also run antiX on a couple 2015-era laptops and desktops, so that of course works great. I installed full, added i3, then removed the other WMs.
