antiXLinux

Welcome to antiX users board - be nice or you will get a spankin

2019-07-21T09:41:39+00:00

While on https://www.reddit.com/r/UsernameChecksOut/comments/bwqowp/we_were_referring_to_antix_linux_and_i_noticed/ me and u/Ocawesome101 thought that antiX should have its own reddit/community board, so we created one and off it goes.

Some may say it is redundant to https://www.reddit.com/r/MXLinux/ but I disagree. antiX has and always had a militant anti-systemd/X orientation, while MX appeals more to the masses who crave all the goodies of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint world, despite the cost. We antiXers would rather use openBSD/freeBSD than having to use Gnome or Cinnamon.

My personal favorite antiX package is systemd-must-die

What does "non-free" means in antiX repositories?

2023-01-23T02:56:12+00:00

I want to know what does that "non-free" exactly mean?!! Does it mean that it is illegal to download software from nonfree repositories?

I mean if almost every Linux software is free and open source then that "non-free" refers to what?

Sorry if the question is silly, but I just want to understand that! I don't want to do something illegal, and "non-free" reminds me of those ugly Windows licenses, they make you feel guilty all the time!!

Backlight Hotkey in AntiX 22

2022-12-10T01:18:08+00:00

Hello, I have absolutely loved running AntiX 22 on my ThinkPad T61! Everything seems to work great (especially after setting up the playerctl package to manage media keys better) except for my brightness up function key. Strangely enough, the function key for turning the brigntness down works fine, but up produces no response. The backlight is fully controllable through the utility in the antiX Control Centre.

I have confirmed that the setup in IceWM's keys file is correct (triggering on XF86MonBrightnessDown, and have tried looking for the button events in xev to manually map them, but no character codes are produced, just some sort of value matrix that I am unsure how to interpret.

Any help is appreciated, loving how fast this distro makes my T7100! With Chromium, even HD video streaming isn't out of the question, which is mind blowing for a computer this old!

Firewall install

2022-11-27T01:58:40+00:00

Antix for the 32 bit system allows ufw firewall and although the Gui firewall is available it does not function. Should the GUI firewall work with Antix ?

How to dual boot with windows 10?

2022-11-24T03:15:35+00:00

Can someone provide a step by step guide to dual boot antix with windows 10? I installed windows 10 on my 500gb hard disk and left around 120gb for antiX. I tried to dual boot it and i got the live usb running but when i tried the custom install i couldn't make a home partition because it said that i couldn't make any more primary partition. I'm too afraid to just install it on a root partition without a home partition because i might mess it up. Can someone help me out here?

How can sessions in antiX be saved and restored?

2022-11-20T16:15:11+00:00

On logging in, I'd like for the state of the user environment to be restored to its state prior to logging out; I want whatever apps that were open to be reopened and for windows and workspaces/tags to be arranges as they'd been. How is this best accomplished with antiX?

It'd also be useful to be able to manually save arbitrary states --i.e., outside the scenario of logging out-- of open apps and arrangements of their windows across workspaces/tags and monitors so as to be able to manually invoke them at any point while already logged in. How is this best achieved?

Where to start

2022-11-15T23:25:53+00:00

AntiX is the weirdest Linux distro I have ever used. It runs great on my old (2008) Dell, and uses very little memory. Everything is fast. MX is my usual distro for more modern hardware, but, for some reason, I am struggling with AntiX. I am probably just not familiar with the Desktop Environments that are offered. Is there a good "so you're new to AntiX?" website or a YouTube guru? Thanks in advance.

How to permanently hide the taskbar?

2022-10-28T16:59:08+00:00

I'm pretty new on AntiX, and I found that Ctrl+Alt+H hides the taskbar, but when I restart the PC it comes back. I couldn't find where I can look which command this shortcut executes nor how can I hide it permanently. Any tips?

NFL Game Pass

2022-10-07T12:39:59+00:00

Hello!

Linux noob here. I have an old laptop running Antix, which I absolutely love, but I can't make the NFL stream works. I've tried different browsers, install media codecs, flash, and everything my noob knowledge can remember, but nothing works. On my desktop, running MX, I have absolutely no problem.

May anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

How much storage does antiX-net occupy once it's installed on a CD?

2022-10-02T17:16:53+00:00

Good evening. I saw on https://antixlinux.com/about/, that antiX-net, the lightest antiX distro, has a 180MB iso file. How heavy is the actual filesystem once it's installed?

Some questions around using AntiX with an old Intel Atom.

2022-07-30T15:40:03+00:00

Hello everyone.

Im running AntiX on an old netbook with Intel Atom N270. I've discovered some apps without UI and seems very good. Is there any similar radio app that i can add and remove stations?(or is there any way to edit the stations on Old man radio app?) Another question i have are there any similuators that will run on this CPU? Anyone tried DOSBox? Anything else? Maybe some PSP old games or PS games?Any other tips?

Thanks in advance

just switched to antix from windows 7 and very overwhelmed

2022-07-27T08:05:17+00:00

(total noob please bear with me lol)

Hello! I've gotten an old hand me down laptop and asked for advice on what to do with it (without yknow, upgrading any hardware) and they suggested to switch to Linux.

For context, this was literally my first introduction to Linux. I picked antix because it focused on older models, but later found out its better for intermediate users. I have some questions!

Q: (sorry if I get any terms wrong, I just got started yesterday and just picked up random shit)

(Q1) Since Ubuntu is also a debian based distro could I follow the tutorials on them for antix?

(Q2) I have an extra monitor thats connected to my laptop through HDMI, the display works perfectly but the sound is stuck at zero when I opened alsamixer, it could read the HDMI output but when it tests it says that it couldnt connect to the device?

(Q3) Should I switch distros? I was thinking of switching to something more beginner friendly, if there's even such a thing as that (looking at Lubuntu or peppermint)

Thats it for now, Im still learning on how to install applications or run them, drivers as well.

So far I'm enjoying the learning process, although it's a bit of a headache when you literally don't know jack shit lmaooo
