AntiX (and it's "sister" distribution MX 17 Horizon - which you can find at MX-17 released December-15-2017 ) are both effective and easy to use distributions. Of the two of them, antiX 17 is the smaller, more "nimble" distribution intended for "older" hardware, and MX-17 is an antiX replacement for what used to be the MEPIS distribution. MX-17 now uses Xfce as it's desktop environment (instead of the KDE desktop environment previously used in MEPIS. That makes MX a bit "lighter" than MEPIS, yet MX retains good usability.
Note that both distributions are based on software that comes from Debian. The communities that discuss and support these two distributions have some overlaps, since anticapitalista is the lead developer of both of them and they both get their "heritage" from the Debian and MEPIS traditions.
I'm using antiX 17 to write this note from the FlashPeak Slimjet Web browser. With 5 tabs open, the browser, at the moment, is chewing up the most memory, but it is still consuming less an an eighth of the total memory and not swapping at all. Moreover, it's quite responsive, so that's good.
