Lightweight Edition (Openbox)

For the machine your family called "the slow computer" until now.

What’s inside

Openbox window manager + light panel + minimal file manager + the same Arch base and repo access as everything else. Idle RAM measured in hundreds of MB — room left for the browser that actually matters.

Philosophy

Nothing pre-installed you didn’t ask for; nothing preventing what you need:

sudo pacman -S thunar        # add pieces as YOU want them
yay -S picom                 # compositor when you fancy eye-candy

Right-click desktop = applications menu (Openbox convention — muscle memory arrives within a day).

Real-world expectations

Hardware	Experience
Core2 Duo / 4GB, HDD→SSD swapped	Genuinely pleasant daily driver
2 GB RAM era netbooks	Usable for writing/browsing-light
Anything with SSD + 8 GB	Overkill — standard edition serves better

Keep the wiki handy

Everything under Software/Hardware sections applies unchanged (Welcome to the AcreetionOS Wiki); only desktop-specific pages (panel applets etc.) assume Cinnamon. Performance guidance: Performance Tuning pairs especially well here.
