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.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
