What should I install or try on antiX?
I’ve been using antiX on an old netbook with an Intel Atom N455 and 2 GB RAM, and so far I’m really happy with how light and responsive it feels.
Now I want to explore it a bit more.
What are some apps, tools or small utilities you think are worth installing on antiX? I’m especially interested in lightweight software that works well on old hardware.
It can be anything: system tools, radio/music apps, small games, file managers, terminal tools, desktop tweaks or just something fun to experiment with.
I’m not looking for heavy software. I’d rather find useful or interesting things that fit the whole lightweight antiX idea.
Any recommendations? And if there’s something you think I absolutely should try on antiX, let me know
