Managed to install #AntiX #Linux on this old MSI U130 #notebook. Only down side is that the audio is quite low. The battery doesn't hold a charge, but I suppose that's to be expected after all this time.

Sure, it's a bit slow at times, but even running LibreOffice and a few other bits it's still not really breaking a sweat.

Cool!🙏

Why AntiX?🤔🧐❓

AntiX was lightweight and ran without tweaks. Distros like Ubuntu either didn't work or didn't recognise a piece of hardware.

Thanks!🙏👍😆

I did try other things like #Puppy #Linux, but it's not really user friendly at times, it did detect most of the hardware (from what I remember) but is actually really hard to install. It doesn't seem to have a proper installer now. I'm sure it used to.

I've run AntiX before and I loved it. I'm currently running its fork, MX linux. Solid build.

Oh. I didn't know MX was a fork of AntiX. Interesting...
