Is AntiX the best Lightweight Linux Distro?

Today we take a look at AntiX Linux and get a sense of how lightweight the operating system and see how easy is it to deploy in different applications such as a USB live environment or on an old laptop.

Nice one Jeremy. I left Windows for two months or so, I fell in love with Debian with XFCE but it was still a bit too much for my old laptop. I tested a few of the lightweight distros everyone knows and antiX just hit the spot for me, it's a great balance between accessibility and lightweightness (is that a word?)...
It was a challenge to have it as a first Linux distro but it taught me really cool things and being able to actually use it for studies and work is a bliss, subscribed and liked!

I don’t know what Antix is but I like you

I have installed antiX on my netbook with 2 GB of RAM, Intel Atom D455, 1024x600. Nice!

I've been trying AntiX and yes it is very light and fast. It is a bit cluttered though and GUIs look very dated. My other fav light distros are Lubuntu and PeppermintOS but now Lubuntu can easily suck up 700MB of ram at idle!

my "Dad" is using it so i approve it as dad proof

Very cool distro. Sadly it is completely and utterly broken on my Intel tablet.

The short and long answer are both "yes"

I have a 🥔 laptop hp 250 g1 notebook pc with pentium 2020M with duel channel 4gb ram and with hard drive not ssd which struggle to run windows 7 and windows 10 and didn't support 11 so I switched to ubuntu which after a month became sluggish so I switched to fedora and the story remained same then I switched tried to install antix as a noob in linux I can't be able to do manual partition then installed linux mint which I didn't like on the same day I installed arch using arch instal script with kde and since then I have been using it's almost a year and it is good for me .it has only one problem linux doesn't support ralink rt3290 wifi card . Do you know how to install driver as it's official driver is not available for linux.

Great review. Instead of installing it with persistence, why not do a full install. I have done that before and had a better experience than persistence.

AntiX sounds like it hates Xorg 😅

[@setoman1]

No connection with Xorg.

Bodhi Linux is another lightweight alternative.

& nice looking too 😍

[@nageswaraopatha5445]

Agreed 👍

"an-teeks" pronunciation. As in this linux is good for older hardware
