I remember why *I* didn't like it: AntiX changed permissions in my home

Also it would seem to be aimed at laptop users; and as I mainly work from a
Frankenstein desktop, with several internal hard drives, I was unpleasantly
surprised that I could not specify custom mount points for my other drives;
only the main drive (for home) was recognized. It may be that I could do
change this later, but their installation process as I recall depended on a
slick GUI, etc., and was more automatic; whereas I have got comfortable with
a Debian-style old-school installation process.
It did seem to be lightweight and very fast, compared to other distros. What I
couldn't quite recall is whether TDE was installed by default, but it seems
to me that it was, at least on the one I tried.

I stumbled on AntiX about a year or so ago. If I remember aright, it is a
kind of MX, no systemd, with TDE already installed by default. My memory
could be a little faulty, but I do remember I mostly was impressed by it.

Hm ... just thinking: Can I use it to create MX+linuxcnc+TDE? Maybe for
RPi (which I did not find on MX site), too?
Hi Nik,
Ask that on their forums, they have ~20+ dev's (all but one seems really
friendly), as cnc isn't something I have any knowledge of. My guess is
there is a way (I’ve seen an MX+TDE install iso somewhere, so *snort*
how hard would it be to add linuxcnc? Rofl, I amuse myself with my
ignorance ;)
Best,
Michael meanwhile I got MX up and running and there seems to
be absolutely no
problem. it has some kind of ugly but efficient xfce gui; I'm looking
into installing TDE.
dealing with Windows 10 Home was more of an unpleasant surprise than
anticipated. I wondered why I couldn't see it when I booted from MX
live - the disk and its partitions were not visible.
it turns out it was in Bitlocker but more pertinent, it was configured
as RAID. a little bare-knuckled wrestling got it into a saner
configuration.
my intention, should I keep the laptop, is to install Windows 10 Pro
in place of Home.
f.
I hope never to be forced to say those words, ever again: install Windoze. I
also made vows to get more exercise, and to eat less junk food.
Bill
