antiX-Linux
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/
AntiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install linux live CD distribution based on Debian Stable for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems.
I like a fast, instant, easy desktop that I can easily modify for my purposes – not some horrid WM window manager with a panel or WHY
This is why I install LXDE then remove and purge the multitude of WMs and FM file managers that clog up Antix, along with any other excess baggage I can find. This upsets many folk on many forums always resulting in a ban by some mediator with a really expensive computer and a sys tray looking like street bunting OMG
I prefer to let simple screenshot pictures and screencast videos do the talking showing just how efficient my setup of Antix-LXDE is. If it keeps an old 2009 laptop alive and kicking 4ss, saving it from the colossal eWaste mountain, then all good This is why I named it mini-MAX
I ignore all that stupid stuff about just being able to run on a ?RAM laptop.
As you can see I create and edit videos on my HP G60 3GiB Laptop bought 2009 as my everyday laptop - it has large screen, number pad and touchpad with a scroll bar. It now has a new faster SSD TEAM T253X1240G drive
Super efficient LXDE using just 88MiB to 160Mib RAM with huge menu of apps.

Those guys over at Antix are still saying that – zzz-IceWM desktop: 171M – LXDE desktop: 179M withering on about 8MiB RAM. I am using just 150MiB RAM with my setup. Perhaps another imgur video is required showing massive menu and minimal RAM

Please let me know if you know of any other efficient desktop distro with an extensive menu – thanks Guys
We now have a new kids on the block – superlite - for comparison – XF-antiX.

As you can see from their screenshots it uses well over double the RAM: It seems to use a WM and a panel.
I leave it to you to ask why so inefficient? Definitely not Superlite
Looks like same outfit have made another inefficient distro LX-antiX
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lx-antix/
But this time using bits of LX in a jumbled hodgepodge melting pot with the main version using 400+MiB RAM whilst succumbing to LX-antiX 21 32bits to get the RAM down and using very light apps – see their Graphics menu for example without GIMP or Sound & Video without OpenShot Video Editor and without SimpleScreenRecorder.
Again; I leave it to you to ask why so inefficient? Definitely not Superlite in my book
Antix-LXDE = Super Efficient
