My bravery in trying out this distro has paid off: I now belong to the "Arditi del Popolo". I'm flabbergasted ..... I tested [antiX-23.1_386-full.iso] (sysVinit, 32bit) on my old (2006) 32bit laptop (Single core 1200 MHz, 1 GB RAM) as a Live-System on Ventoy (on HDD): THE BEST Lightweigt System I've ever tested! Boots very fast, runs extremely fast, a lot of apps (LibreOffice, Firefox etc.) in the Live-System-ISO. At startup only 87MB/1GB RAM is in use. As a comparison: LMDE6-32bit can't properly run on 1GB RAM. The "Live Persistence" feature is in INGENIOUS! Create an EXT4 partition with label "antiX-Persist" and a swap partition alongside the Ventoy (exFAT) partition (where the ISO's reside), press F5 in the antiX boot menu, select "persist_static" and press enter! Wish List: an option in the boot menu "Run antiX with Static Persistence" that can be reached with the [arrow-down-button] instead of F5 (for quick selection by non-admins). Minor bug: The four-clover-menu sometimes gets hassled: then LibreOffice can be found in the "Games" or "Internet" folder. Not a serious problem, everything runs fine. I also tested [antiX-23.2_x64-full.iso] (sysVinit) on my Dual Core 64-bit PC as a Live-System on Ventoy (on SSD): works great as well! At startup only 214MB is in use.

Probably the lightest general purpose distribution available.

Lightweight and ideal for older computers. Very busy overloaded menus that can be confusing to navigate, but do provide a lot of features. Definitely one of the lighter distros that can just about cope with as little as 2 GB of RAM, where other distros would suffer badly. If you want something more streamlined with just the bare essentials, then Clear Linux is a better choice for ancient hardware. Supposedly specially tailored to Intel hardware but I've found it works well with AMD CPU's too.

A solid Debian-derived distro. Reasonably lightweight, and tends to be quite fast when compared to other distros. The (l)user who rated it with 2 stars and complains that "it sucks" perhaps didn't follow the (simple) installation instructions. Our experience here is that it generally works straight "out of the box", with little intervention needed from the end user. Some particular use cases my require a little more attention, but as a basic, lightweight distro, this works. well.
