    Why this lightweight Linux distro won’t win any popularity contests but is perfect for power users

    AntiX will be familiar to a wide swath of users. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETCan a Linux distribution shrug off nearly everything most distributions hold dear and still deliver a desktop operating system that is powerful, fast, and easy to use? That’s exactly what AntiX manages to do.Although this Ubuntu-based distribution is best suited for those who know their way around Linux, AntiX is not beyond the realm of new users. Why is this distro best suited for experienced Linux users? Is it the lack of systemd? No. Most new users rarely (if ever) have to bother with a startup service. Is it because the desktop includes Konky (a widget that displays various bits of information)? No. Konky doesn’t really affect how the desktop is used.Also: How to encrypt a file on Linux, MacOS, and Windows – and whyThe primary reason why I recommend this distribution to those with experience is based purely on the fact that AntiX opts for the zzzFM-IceWM window manager.
