Linux Revives Ancient Computers!
26AntiX Linux is a lightweight Linux distro which works well for anyone who wants desktop Linux on old, low-spec hardware. In this video, we'll look at how I used AntiX to breathe new life into an ancient Core Duo iMac from the year 2006. This model iMac won't run any version of OS X newer than the ancient 10.5 Leopard. So, I searched for a modern Linux distro that would be lightweight enough to run on this machine. Linux saved the day, so I wasn't disappointed.
By the way, when I say that this is a lightweight distro, I mean that it's a Linux lightweight in resource usage, but it's not lightweight in performance. The IceWM desktop does make for a great Linux desktop.
Yes, lightweight linux distros can work wonders for your ancient computers!
