I used synaptic package manager because I am running AntiX 8.5 Upgrade Full Iso installed using antix2usb via antiX control center. This is a live 4gig SD Kingston Flash Drive with persistence. I kept this simple. Just the facts. No bling here but all works.
I have root, Home,Battery,Fan Speed,CPU Temp,Battery all displayed and working.
