FLinux is a Linux distribution entirely built in FLTK 1.3, hence the name (FL+inux). Its FLTK programs begin with its window manager: FLWM (1.20), web browser Dillo, FlRadio, Fluff (file manager), and even an image viewer (flpicsee).
The system also includes ALSA as a preconfigured sound service, Xvesa as a graphical server, wbar, torsmo, and MP3 support via mpg123. Text editing is handled by "editor" (FLTK-based) and vi (CLI). Terminal emulators provided are aterm and xterm.
This minimalist and modern distribution is a fork of Tiny Core Linux 17. It uses Linux kernel 5.10 and glibc 2.42, and is available for x86 (32-bit) systems only.
An independent repository hosted in Brazil provides custom-built and optimized packages, in addition to those adapted from Tiny Core.
Designed to be extremely lightweight, it can run in installed mode without swap on systems with as little as 96MB of RAM.
Two versions are available for download: one with WIFI support and one without. The WIFI edition includes a wide range of wireless firmware for maximum hardware compatibility. After installation, users are encouraged to remove any firmware packages that are not needed in order to reduce system size and memory usage.
