MX Moksha, not as light and snappy as expected

I have tested MX Moksha on my Asus eeePC netbook.
Hoping it would fly as light as Bodhi Linux (also Moksha desktop).

long story short: It looks good but is much less snappy than Bodhi and eats way more RAM (and even eats swap on an idle desktop). Even opening a terminal or a menu is slow.

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           686Mi       405Mi        25Mi       6,8Mi       275Mi       281Mi
Swap:          1,3Gi        51Mi       1,3Gi

I had a stripped down version of Ubuntu-MATE 24.04 running on this netbook. I could have just as well keep that: MX Moksha is pertinently not performing better.

Maybe I’ll test MX Fluxbox next :slight_smile:
