AntiX-Core is what you need. I found a ‘stable LTS and true minimalist system’ without dbus, elogin, and systemd. You can check the installation here from anticapitalista. Create this from VM, snapshot, and install on your device.

my pleasure…

Luckily Xubuntu did the trick on that old laptop

yeah, because ubuntu have more stable repo server than antix. but if i comparison two of them in power consumption, antix used less power 3x in ram than xubun.

Mirror repo

Maybe you can experiment Croc if you want simplest way.

AntiX wouldn’t let me install any packages or update. It would keep telling me I needed to wait a few hours to access the repos. I did like how you could swap between several desktop environments easily.

Just manual change the repo and problem solved…

And I need to clarify this because AntiX IMO, under category Permacomputing for low power consumption without too much sacrificing the function than others [in my experiment].

Thank you so much for this!

can you tell me your testing with bookshelf? really curious with the ui and your opinion on it.

+1 for that Thinkpad
