I think you will find that that sort of software is only necessary on a MSWindows machine, Linux runs lean without bloat, unless you install it.
If you have an old machine with very little ram, there are distros specifically designed to work on low ram machines.
(Another way to save ram is to disable services/daemons that you don't use.)

Open a Terminal and enter

Code: Select all

inxi -F

And repost it here. That way we can see what your PC is and some of us can try to help.

I don't know what all these do but no doubt some of them can be 'turned off' to save on ram if you are really tight.

Code: Select all

$ ls (/)etc/rc2.d
K01bluetooth     S01motd         S02acpid    S02haveged      S02smartmontools  S03lightdm          S15rpcbind            S18stop-bootlogd
K01saned         S01nmbd         S02anacron  S02hddtemp      S02smbd           S03network-manager  S16nfs-common
K02cups          S01rsyslog      S02cron     S02loadcpufreq  S02spamassassin   S03winbind          S17nfs-kernel-server
README           S01samba-ad-dc  S02dbus     S02ntp          S02ssh            S04openvpn          S18rc.local

Likely candidates :- saned cron anacron loadcpufreq nfs-kernel-server rsync ssh openvpn rmnologin
& depending on whether you use them :- smbd samba-ad-dc winbind
(Someone more knowledgeable about these services should be consulted first.)

Since you are using MX-14 (you really should use the final version, not the RC) there are quite a few things you could disable, but you will lose some functionality (maybe you don't need them eg samba)

As an aside, using a pendrive or sd card for swap is not recommended, as it is likely to wear out fairly quickly.

Edit: If you want, you can create a swap partition or a swap file to help with a low ram machine.
