I never anticipated such interest especially after having been banned from most forums for posting about just how fast and efficient LXDE is when used with distros such as AntiX and Loc-OS. What can I say…?
Thanks to all of you from this 74 year old pensioner
Most of you will have noticed the deathly silence from Porteus and parent Slackware;
unable to match or come close to such desktop efficiency.
For those who may wish to know the spec of my old 2013 Dell-Latitude laptop I used for the record: It is still in use now with Loc-OS 23 and stock LXDE installation using 189MiB RAM at idle or 214MiB RAM via htop.

On a modern PC, it will boot into the 'lxde' desktop in less than 15 seconds! Guess Loc-OS doing it in 9 seconds must take away the title for fastest distro on Earth even on a decade old laptop.
