The developers of antiX, a systemd-free Linux distribution based on Debian's "stable" branch, has announced the release of antiX 23. This is the project's first version based on Debian 12: "antiX 23 'Arditi del Popolo' is a new release based on Debian 'Bookworm'. As usual, we offer completely systemd-free and elogind-free flavours for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Available ISO images files with SysVInit or Runit. The 32-bit edition uses a non-pae kernel. Note: after installation of the antiX-23_x64-full editions, the default kernel will be 'Modern' 6.1 even if 'Legacy' 5.10 was booted during the live boot. Changes: based on Debian 12 'Bookworm', but without systemd/libsystemd0 and elogind/libelogind0; eudev instead of udev; customised 5.10.188 Linux kernel; customised 6.1.42 Linux kernel (x64 full only): LibreOffice 7.5.5; Firefox 102.14.0esr (antiX-full); SeaMonkey 2.53.17 (antiX-base); Claws Mail 4.1.1; CUPS for printing; PipeWire/WirePlumber on full editions; ALSA on base and core editions..."
