Lxterminal (one of many Linux terminal or console applications) running neofetch, showing AntiX Linux 21 running ROX Desktop 2.11.
The ROX Desktop is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. It is based on the ROX-Filer which is a drag and drop spatial file manager. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. The environment was inspired by the user interface of RISC OS (not to be confused with RISC/os).[2] The name "ROX" comes from "RISC OS on X". Programs can be installed or removed easily using Zero Install.
The project was started by Thomas Leonard as a student at University of Southampton in 1999[3][4] and was still led by him in 2012.
