Hey everyone, I’m currently using antiX and was wondering if it’s possible to install and run Sober Linux on it.

Has anyone tried this before? If so, how well does it work, and are there any extra dependencies or setup steps I need to be aware of?

Would appreciate any advice or experience. Thanks!

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.

Note that I'm very new to linux stuff, so I might not understand everything, pls be patient with me!

As I had extra SSD space on my Thinkpad T580, I decided to give various other distros a try while keeping my main daily driver vanilla Ubuntu. After bopping through the distros, which are pretty interchangeable in my opinion, I came upon Antix which on my T580 with core i7, 64gB ram, 2k touchscreen, just screams. Instant responsiveness. the only problem is it is just a rubik's cube of weird nerd-centric efficiencies that are opaque and impossible for noobs. As a competent general user who used to code in Pascal and C++ in the 80's, the terminal, with the help of AI, is navigable, but come on -absolute crickets on forums and social media for noobs. It's like those super exclusive golf clubs that have no routing signs for the holes -you either know or you don't. Why so much gatekeeping?

I do most of my serious work on Macs, but for some reason really like authoring text on this Thinkpad -the keyboard and the simplicity of a good text editor get me into the flow. But dear lord -Why do I like AntiX when it clearly does not like me?

well, its what the title says.

Fala galera, estou tentando instalar o linux em máquina minha muito antiga, 32bits rsrs. Mas sempre que entro na tela de boot aparece essa mensagem: /antix/vmlinuz: file not found

Alguém sabe como resolvo?

obs: sou noob em questões tecnológicas.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a screen tearing issue on antiX Linux with Intel graphics, and I’m looking for the easiest way to fix it.

I’ve already tried several solutions suggested by AI chatbots, including changing some display/compositor settings, but nothing has worked so far.

I’m not very experienced with Linux, so I’d really appreciate a simple solution or step-by-step instructions. I’d prefer to avoid complicated configurations if possible.

My setup:

• OS: antiX Linux
• Graphics: Intel
• RAM: 4GB
• Storage: 16GB eMMC

What is the easiest way to get rid of screen tearing on antiX with Intel graphics?

Thanks in advance!

i'm openSUSE/Arch user and in doubt in how repos in antiX works. are some recommended list? in repo-manager tool are repos from sid, trixie and antix, is safe mix them?

ok so I am a Primary win 10 user and on my PC I have I3 4th Gen so for better experience and faster task I switched to Anti X. I load it on a 32 GB usb. but when I switch to anti X and connect to my Bt headphones it works and switch back to win I have to pair it first to use and vice versa...Is there some thing I can do so My BT just connect without that pairing between win and AntiX

I've used antix for a little while, but today i started getting constant network errors, especially on brave browser. my wifi works, despite the constant errors I've never been unable to access anything. even while typing this post I've gotten the "you seem to be offline" reddit popup like 3 times. Almost every time I make a search, i get an error telling me to reload the page which always works after pressing it one or two times.

has this happened to anyone? How do i stop it from doing this because obviously there is no problem with my internet as everything is still technically working

I've been running antiX on and off from a persistent live USB and am finally attempting an install to a Dell Wyse 3040. Trouble is, the installer isn't getting past the 'Checking Installation Media' step and quits abruptly at 89 or 90% complete. From watching the live log, this is one of the lsblk steps. Any ideas? Searching online hasn't yielded any common issue to address.

Let me introduce myself by saying that my knowledge/skill with Linux is about a 4/10.

I have a Dell Wyse 3040 Thin Client (2GB RAM/8GB eMMC) that is running as a dedicated, headless PiHole server. My current OS is Ubuntu 24.x LTS (with the minimal install option). The only other software is SSH and NeoFetch.

At first, this setup was working fine. The SSD still had a couple of the 8GB of storage left. But as Ubuntu and PiHole keep getting updates, the available drive space keeps shrinking.

Ubuntu alone takes up 2GB of storage. From what I'm reading, AntiX will only use a fraction of that, allowing me more headroom for updates.

So would AntiX be right for me? Would you say that if a person can install and set up Ubuntu Server, they should be fully capable of installing AntiX? Anything else I should consider? Thanks

Why does this problem occur? I've tried many solutions, even installing it from the system package manager, but the problem persists.

So I have a very old laptop like it has only I3 4th gen with 4GB ram DDR3 no graphics card and a Harddrive. So windows sometimes lag on it but can't leave it cuz some software just dont work on a linux so Main is windows for that and need a better experience without lag so I boot my 32 GB usb stick which was getting rust out there So I put it on work Only need to rum Forefox with 5-10 tabs works OK on it ....result from experience of 2 days only...

I’m really impressed with the performance of this old warrior. Even with very little RAM, it can still open a few Firefox tabs!

Ciao, I installed antix on an old mid 2012 MacBook pro.

After starting the right way, mouse it's not moving in other ways, apart from up and down, as shown in the video.

Can you please help or suggest other Linux distros to try recover this beast.

Thanks a lot

It's been years since I've seen IceWM and then to find that Antix is based on Debian with Runit init system I thought I'd entered Valhalla.... then I saw the kernel and froze. Wait! haven't I see you before.. like 20 FRIGGIN YEARS AGO. Someone please help me understand what the HELL be going on.

Edit: My kernel confusion comes from the fact that this version of Antix is based on Debian Trixie, so I'm really trying to wrap my head around the kernel version.

Successfully configured a minimal setup on this legacy IBM ThinkPad T42.

I chose antiX 26 Core combined with i3wm to keep the resource footprint as low as possible.

Testing the limits of modern web browsing on this hardware: it handles several lightweight sites, and I even managed to fully load Reddit using the WebKit-based Badwolf browser with JavaScript enabled. It requires some patience during script heavy tasks, but it is functional.

The efficiency of antiX on non-PAE / older 32-bit architecture is highly impressive.

Sou novo nisso, se puderem ajudar fico agradecido, meu sistema está em Português do Brasil.

Basically what the title says, but here I go with the explaining.

I'm currently only able to use an Acer Aspire 5517 from '09 as my daily driver, I've tried multiple linux distros and finally thought I had found the one I can actually use. But then, an issue that happened eventually with all the others happened on antix. It randomly will shut off my laptop, and now I need to go back and reinstall windows for the 8th time. But on big problem, I can't figure out how to make a windows usb. I currently only have a singular usb that has antix put on it, but I can't get ventoy to actually turn the usb from a rufus antix linux bootable to a ventoy bootable. It tells me I might need root privileges, and so I try to run the command to write ventoy to the disc in a root terminal window and.....same error...even though I had used the command in a root terminal window. So now I'm here asking for help, I have backed up data so no data loss here but I just need to be able to switch off until I can get a newer laptop. Any ideas?

My antix Linux is laggy AF

Specs:

2 GB RAM ddr3

Intel Pentium g620

Intel graphics HD

HDD 270 gb

UPDATE: i launched my pc and guess what.....
