I have installed or helped to install AntiX on a wide variety of both Desktop and Laptop computers, up to now without any total failures. Most systems were very straightforward and fast to install, a couple of very modern systems not so easy but that was also the case with the alternatives suggested by owners. Mint Manjaro Arch were rejected after trials, others like Buntu and Fed failed dismally. From now near 40 everyday users none are asking to change, I am very rarely being asked for any help. All the weird glitches and slow shutdowns experienced are gone, idle desktop at around 110 MB Memory usage with Ice WM which over the past months has risen to most loved desktop.No concentration on fancy effects, just solid function and easy customization. Fantastic replacement for both W Doze and other distroś. Highly recommend it. Was this review helpful?

I set about installing various small distros. I tried Puppy, LXLE, and Lubuntu. Every one of them failed in some form or another to install. I had issues with Lubuntu crashing. Puppy, the Grub4DOS installer didn't work. LXLE, it kept locking up. I tried Tiny Core, which worked, but I wanted something a little more robust. I decided to try AntiX. It just worked. I give it a solid 10 for that alone. It comes with everything I wanted installed and it runs great on this old PC. Was this review helpful?
