antiX () is a Linux distribution, originally based on MEPIS, which itself is based on the Debian stable distribution. antiX initially replaced the MEPIS KDE desktop environment with the Fluxbox and IceWM window managers, making it suitable for older, less powerful x86-based systems. Unlike Debian, antiX does not use the systemd init system, instead, antiX provides images in which either SysVinit or Runit are set as the default init system.
It is lightweight and suitable for older computers, while also providing cutting edge kernel and applications, as well as updates and additions via the apt-get package system and Debian-compatible repositories.

Starting with version 19 antiX offers sysVinit and runit as a choice for the init system.
Starting with version 22 antiX is offered elogind-free for both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture.
Starting with version 23.1 antiX has new apps: antiX TV, antiX Radio, Finder, antiX SAMBA manager, and several others.
Starting with version 23.2 antiX Full comes with two kernels: Legacy 5.10 and Modern 6.1




Window managers


antiX comes with a default Desktop built on top of ROX or Zzzfm File Managers, GTK library and IceWM as a Window Manager. antiX-full and antiX-base include these window managers:

Lightweight: Rox-IceWM (default), IceWM and ZzzFM-IceWM. (Stacking WM)
Minimalist: Rox-Fluxbox, Fluxbox and ZzzFM-Fluxbox. (Stacking WM)
Very minimalist: Rox-JWM, JWM and ZzzFM-JWM. (Stacking WM)
Running the ROX or Zzzfm variants provides desktop icons and a drag-and-drop function. Conky provides system monitor availability.




Versions


antiX is available for IA-32 (32-bit) and x86-64 (64-bit) architectures, and comes in four versions:

Full, Includes X Windows, 4 window managers, LibreOffice suite, and a 'Package Installer' which allows installation of a full range of applications (1.7 GB)
Base, Includes X Windows, 4 window managers, and a 'Package Installer' which allows the user to choose their own application suite (1 GB)
Core, No X Windows, command-line installer without encryption, which enables the user to have total control over the install (520 MB)
net, No X Windows, command-line installer without encryption, which enables the user to have total control with no desktop environment by default (220 MB)
These four AntiX versions were joined by MEPIS in 2014, developed in cooperation with the MEPIS Community to form MX Linux. MX Linux uses Xfce as the default desktop environment, is based directly on Debian Stable, is highly stable and gives solid performance from a medium-sized footprint. As of November 2016, MX Linux is now listed as a separate distro on DistroWatch.
