"AntiX Linux is a heavily cut-down version of Debian 13, with a choice of init systems and ultralightweight GUIs, enabling it to run efficiently on older PCs."
"The 2026 release offers a choice of two kernels: the old but still supported 5.10, or the slightly newer kernel 6.6, along with a 32-bit edition."
"AntiX 26 needs less than half as much RAM as BunsenLabs Carbon, requiring about 200 MB, making it a more efficient option for lightweight computing."
"Unlike other distros that remove systemd but add replacements, AntiX does not include GNOME or KDE, focusing on a minimalistic approach."
AntiX Linux 26, based on Debian 13, is a lightweight distribution suitable for older hardware. It provides a choice between two kernels: 5.10 and 6.6, with a 32-bit edition available. The download options have been simplified to four: Full or Core, 32-bit or 64-bit. AntiX requires about 200 MB of RAM, making it more efficient than other Debian-based distros like BunsenLabs Carbon. Unlike other distributions, AntiX does not replace systemd with alternative packages, limiting desktop environment options to those compatible without systemd.
