# SpringBoard ## Identification [[antiX|antiX]] is a lightweight Debian-derived distribution; [[Kernel Mode Setting|KMS]] and the `i915` driver initialize Intel graphics. [[ROX Desktop|ROX]] and [[IceWM|IceWM]] provide a lightweight desktop/window-manager pairing, while runlevels and D-Bus represent legacy init/session machinery. [[FydeOS|FydeOS]], [[KaiOS|KaiOS]], and [[Mageia|Mageia]] are very different systems, suggesting comparison by portability or hardware fit rather than shared lineage. [[SpringBoard|SpringBoard]] is Apple’s iOS home-screen shell, not macOS. ## Notebook evidence - [[Scanned_20260730-1719#PDF page 25 — antiX, runlevels, terminals, and an alternate-OS shortlist|PDF page 25: antiX, runlevels, terminals, and an alternate-OS shortlist]] — The author is testing how low-resource or alternate systems reach a usable graphical environment and how files enter that environment. The shortlist ranges from desktop Linux to Chromium OS and mobile OS, reinforcing that the target is a transferable computing experience rather than one distribution. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this note in a shared evidence cluster with [[antiX|antiX]] · [[FydeOS|FydeOS]] · [[IceWM|IceWM]] · [[KaiOS|KaiOS]] · [[Kernel Mode Setting|Kernel Mode Setting]] · [[Mageia|Mageia]] · [[ROX Desktop|ROX Desktop]] · [[Scanned_20260730-1706|Scanned_20260730-1706]]. Within the larger collection, this evidence extends [[Vendor-Agnostic Recovery|vendor-agnostic recovery]] and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]] by showing how software, hardware, identity, and pre-OS control depend on recoverable interfaces. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Define target hardware, architecture, persistence model, secure-boot needs, and application requirements before comparing these systems. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1719|Scanned_20260730-1719]]
