Ubuntu MATE VS antiX Linux

When I started out, I used red hat, Suse linux, and then finally I jumped to Ubuntu, when they killed gnome and rolled out their new GUI later, I switched to Ubuntu Mate, with xfce alternatively installed. And then later came MINT. Which is based on ubuntu anyway. Source: 5 months ago

& https://github.com/kisslinux 4. https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ 5. https://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/index.html .. Many more, but those are all too distro-specific, meaning 'family' and associated administration and packaging tools, default choices for desktop-environment, and whatnot else. Which teaches you almost nothing about 'Linux', but the specific choices of that 'distribution', and all the baggage... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Maybe try installing a different distro, as it could be an issue with the installer. EXE GNU/Linux is very similar to Q4OS Trinity, alternatively there's antiX, for example. You would at least be able to see if it's a general problem or just one installer. Source: 5 months ago

AnitX is a sibling distro of MX that is specifically for older, slower computers. It still has the MX suite of GUI tools and some other benefits you get with MX, however. Source: 10 months ago

I received a laptop from 2003 recently that I turned into a little white noise machine. I couldn't get ANYTHING else to run on it besides Antix Linux. Source: 11 months ago
