  • Damn Small Linux (DSL) 2024 is a compact Linux distribution designed for low-spec x86 computers.
  • Includes lightweight window managers (Fluxbox, JWM), X-based web browsers, office apps, multimedia tools, and term-based utilities.
  • Aims to fit within a 700MB limit (single CD size) to support older hardware and reduce e-waste.
  • Based on antiX 23 i386, leveraging Debian and MEPIS foundations while optimizing for minimal size.
  • Reduced language support and stripped documentation to meet size constraints, with an option to restore missing files.
  • Features apt for easy package installation, maintaining usability despite its compact footprint.
  • Project driven by the creator's passion for keeping old hardware functional and environmentally conscious.
