    @Seaken64: I agree with you. MX-Fluxbox is a nice compromise solution, useful for people who are beginning to experience difficulties with the full desktop, but may “occasionally” need to use the capabilities of the full MX Linux solution.

    MX Linux is definitely more nimble than the majority of desktop environments and ages pretty well. Nevertheless, antiX has a better solution when you have significant resource constraints and minimal hardware capability.

    Even antiX has “lost” support for really old hardware, but in those cases, get an older version of antiX and run it from a USB device (if supported) on your old hardware and it will work wonders. I’m running antiX 16 right now from a 2015 vintage system, Dell Inspiron 5558, which is able to run antiX 19.2 and MX Linux 19.2 quite well. Running in RAM on this aging system with antiX 16 works even better – less RAM used!
