Re: antiX screenshots
I LOVE those! I was always attracted to antiX because NO systemd and ultralight. I always wanted to try a "antiX-bang" mixture (Openbox).

Re: Help me choose the version [Solved]
Omygosh, I wish I had 16 GB of RAM! But with my paltry little 8GB, standard MX-Linux runs better than when this machine was brand new and running WindowsXP! Far more than enough RAM to run this amazing distro!

Re: SeaMonkey out of date - Should I be concerned ?
The repos are updated pretty regularly and reliably, so likely just a matter of time. Seamonkey is an excellent choice!

Re: When do you call it quits on an older machine? And how do you take the next step?
Probably when 32-bit support is unavailable anymore I'll finally throw away the old hand-me-down machine that shipped with WinXP (still the best OS Microsoft ever made). Or I'll keep just in case it's worth a zillion and twelve dollars in another few hundred years or something.

Re: HP's new printer subscription service...
I still have my old scanner/copier/printer HP 380 all-in-one and it still mostly works. I'm glad I found this thread because I want to get a new printer soon.

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
Switching to Linux was hardly a "gargantuan task" for me. That was years ago now and it's only gotten easier since then. Learning to use and maintain Linux was the harder part, but no more difficult than running "defrag" and all that when I was learning Windows. I think most ordi...

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
I have been advocating for Linux many years now, and only one person I've spoken to about it actually uses it - and that's only because she had no computer of her own so I gave her my spare laptop (with MX-Linux on it). When she finally gets her own computer, I doubt she'll care if it's Linux or not...

Re: A year after creation date...
Before Ubuntu made Debian usable by us ordinary mortals ("Linux for Human Beings"®), Mepis had already been doing it quite successfully. But Ubuntu had the backing of a millionaire and so kind of cornered the newbie market. Now Ubuntu has gotten too big for it's britches, teamed up with Mi...

Re: Best Dock panel for KDE
A panel and a dock are just about the same thing, if you want them to be. I do the same thing in Xfce as @CatManDan does in KDE (very nice looking, CatMan). For eye candy, use Cairo Dock. For simplicity and low-demand functionality, use the good ol' Xfce panel!
