Seaken64,
Unfortunately I will be in debt, I didn’t get as much detailed information as yours. Mine are limited by the command $ free {Enter}, $ htop {Enter}, or some task manager.

antiX (antiX-19.2_x64-full.iso)
Before installing to HD:
Information displayed by Conky before installation: Resolution 1366×768, dpi 96, Automount enable, CPU varying between 2% and 4%, Frequency varying between 800 and 1600, RAM 174M Used / 1.56GB Total (for onboard video – Via VT8237R Plus) or Used 144M RAM / 1.96GB Total (for offboard video – nVidia GeForce MX 4000 Version 4.18.20.36.00 64 MB), Swap 0 / 5GB, Disk (Pendrive) 2.59M / 1.23 GB.

I do not know how to disable Conky from antiX startup, I believe it can reduce memory consumption even more. Do you know in which configuration file we can get Conky from? Ideally, Conky would be loaded into memory if the user opened it, instead of being loaded by default.

Hardware requirements
Processor
GoboLinux is compiled to run on x86-64-class systems. You shouldn’t have problems to run it on any modern x86 machine, including Macs. This release contains 64-bit binaries.
Memory
To load the Live CD environment, 128 MB of RAM is the recommended minimum for a text-mode system, 512 MB is the recommended minimum to load the graphic Awesome desktop; 1 GB is recommended for a comfortable Live-boot experience.
Once the system is installed in the hard disk, memory requirements vary greatly depending on the kind of applications executed, but the values stated above related to the Live CD experience serves as a good guideline.
