Ubuntu MATE VS Slax

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

Ubuntu MATE (simple, well maintained, has the Ubuntu ecosystem support and should work well). Source: 11 months ago

Linux Mint has its advantages, but your title doesn't make sense when there's Ubuntu MATE. Source: about 1 year ago

(btw: since the PC is older I would reccommend Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu as those come with a lighter Desktop). Source: about 1 year ago

I find Slax which is looks like a good choice for live distro at a glance. If I'm correct it works not just in live mode it is installed on sdd. Source: 9 months ago

Slax. It is based pn Debian, so you can apt install most packages. Make sure to read Slax's installation guide first though. Source: over 2 years ago

You mentioned in another comment that your laptop is from 2001? Try Slax or MX Linux. Source: over 2 years ago

You can try Slax as it can be loaded to RAM. However you will need to install rest of the required utils... (afaik Chrome and GParted are included by default). Source: over 2 years ago

I'm trying to download slax linux from slax.org but its not working. If I go down to the bottom of the page and click on any of the download links I see a loading icon in the browser tab but nothing gets downloaded, I'm wondering if this is an issue with just me or if anyone else is having a simmilar issue.
