Trying #antiX on an old MacBook Air. Works *great* running from the live USB. But when installed,
* the trackpad motion sensing isn't right: side-to-side moves the pointer vertically, with no way to move horizontally
* clicks don't register
Anyone else encounter this?
Got Tailscale working on an AntiX laptop last night and used a new text editor at the same time!
Lots of help from this AntiX forum post that addressed the lack of systemd and init files.

The text editor in question was geany. I had only used vim, nano,and emacs previously. Feels kind of like cheating since it was so easy.
Dear Friends of #AntiFa,
- Just installed #AntiX 64bit Full #Linux on a thumb-drive. Seemed to work OK
- Built for Grecian's it is designed for those trying to build an updated computer based on the Antikythera mechanism, analytical engine, abacus or similar. Mmm... now that is a citizen project worth pursuing and miniaturising
- Meanwhile I am trying to download #snac2 to run my own #thumb-drive #instance/#server on it. Grateful for any help. Otherwise may have to use #FreeBSD
In other news, my one comment (the first one for their 25th years online edition) was removed by #distrowatch. Are they being what is the word... 'fascistic'?
Power to the People. Not all the people just the selected... Eh wait. Think it might be time for the real revolution...

Yes, a lot of work, but something that the likes of #debian could do over a couple of full releases (circa 4 years).
It would require things like the metadata of the app to include the necessary information to automate this, a bit like the proposed PURL - see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-45-Considering-PURL
For me, we are coming to a crunch point in #linux. Someone needs to decide if they want to continue with #systemd or move to something less commercially backed, someone needs to decide about #AI slop, someone needs to decide about enforced #wayland and enforced #pipewire (although the latter is not so bad).
We're at a crossroads, and if #linux is to continue to be a truly open platform, some things may need to change or fork, such that end users can have confidence that they're installing true open source software with little to no commercial interests being served, whilst protecting privacy etc.
Perhaps this is where the likes of #antix or #devuan can take up the mantle and improve their offering just a little to take it to the next logical step.

Thank you, #antiX.
MX Linux 25.2 “Infinity” keeps things simple while other distros chase AI

- #Antix [https://antixlinux.com/] tenía muy buena pinta. Y desde luego el lema era prometedor "Proudly anti-fascist "antiX Magic" in an environment suitable for old and new computers."
Pero simplemente no arrancaba, un prompt en la parte superior izquierda de la pantalla y nada más. Si el error se hubiera dado más adelante quizás hubiera tenido alguna oportunidad, pero así poco podía hacer. Grabé otro CD por si acaso pero lo mismo. Así que descartada, ni arrancaba.
