   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

• I'd like to interview redditors here about their favorite distro release.

  I'm daily driving Gentoo GNU/Linux (https://gentoo.org). I prefer it over other GNU/Linux distributions because it allows me to customize the operating system down to a lower level. I'm also planning on installing Linux From Scratch (https://linuxfromscratch.org) for educational purposes. However, I might end up daily driving it. I do extremely difficult and tedious activities on my computer just for fun and I... Source: about 1 year ago
