FLinux
Last Update: 2026-02-22 22:57 UTC
FLinux is a minimalist Linux distribution forked from Tiny Core Linux. It is built with FLTK, a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit. The distribution uses the flwm window manager and includes a bare minimum of lightweight applications, such as Dillo (a web browser), Fluff (a file manager) and flpicsee (an image viewer). Extra applications can be install through a graphical software management utility and the project maintains a repository of custom-built packages, in addition to those provided by Tiny Core Linux. The distribution is available in two variants - one without any WiFi support and one with a wide range of wireless firmware included. FLinux is designed to be extremely lightweight; it can run in installed mode without swap on systems with as little as 96 MB of memory.

The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
