   Experienced with very very old laptop

   I am beginner user of linux, routinely using linux Mint in place of windows. In Antix I could not able to install deb files, easily, Even not able to get prompt directly from file browser.

   Definitely run well in less powerful machine. Did not find any drivers issue. I have use external monitor since laptop display was not functional. Pre installed office suite and other software. Got a software stores kind of option able install from there.

   🏁 Competitors: Puppy Linux

   👎 Cons:    Needs little experience for beginners

• Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter

  I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel. Nobara is a very plain, kind of old fashioned, plain feeling UI (it rather reminds me of Windows 2000 in some ways, although it's much more advanced of course) while Garuda showcases just how fancy your desktop can look.

• Please Help me for my search

  Personally, I feel like rolling release distros 'should' include a properly configured (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshit/Snapper by default. This will enable the user to rollback to a working system whenever a breakage occurs; even from the GRUB-menu. As the 'unadulterated' Arch is a blank slate upon which you 'should' tinker to your heart's content, it doesn't do this by default. However, you're highly encouraged to set it...

• Is artix a good alternative to manjaro

  Personal recommendation would be Garuda Linux. Like Manjaro it is 'opinionated'; sets up (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshift/Snapper, comes with a bunch of very useful GUI-tools etc. Source: 11 months ago

• If you have a plan to use the galaxybook with linux, you don't have to buy Galaxybook.

  Yes... Most Linux Distro's the sound doesn't work... Garuda Linux is the only one I found that everything works. Source: 11 months ago
