Loc-OS 23 - https://sourceforge.net/projects/loc-os/
Over 2,000 weekly downloads
THE BEST CHOICE
Loc-OS Linux
Loc-OS is a GNU/Linux distribution focused on low resource consumption. Being very lightweight it is able to run perfectly on older computers, although it also runs on more modern computers.
The most recent version is 23 codenamed "Con Tutti". It is a fork of Debian 12, has SysV init and there are three desktops available, LXDE in 32 and 64 bits, Xfce just in 64 bits (remembering that the main and lighter version is with LXDE) and the new flavour just out of the oven, KDE Plasma (in 32 and 64 bits).
Translated from Loc-OS web page with DeepL.com (free version)
Loc OS has dropped Midori browser for latest release and now offers choice of browser to be installed – Chrome or FireFox Nice touch
Menu and folder headers now in language of your choice.
Loc-OS still has four ready made themes available in just two clicks
For those who like such – WinXP, Neon, iOS or default
Showing my setup with additional programs installed from Synaptic Package Manager to enable making of this video for imgur dot com https://imgur.com/a/hWuq0ZY Please excuse jumbled list of screenshots as imgur saved them in alphabetical order rather than my logical order
Video recorded and edited on 10+ year old Dell-Latitude E6420 BIOS: Dell v: A17 date: 03/07/2013 NVIDIA GF119M [NVS 4200M] driver: nouveau
BTW I still use Antix-LXDE on even older HP G60 3GiB Laptop bought 2009 as my everyday laptop - it has larger screen and a number pad.
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
Happy New Year to all
