/Plus-Linux

A small Linux distro for basic usage on 1.44mb!

BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" LicenseBSD-2-Clause

Plus-Linux 1.0

Plus Linux is based on Kernel 5.15.127 (LTS) at a small size.
It also uses busybox instead of GNU. I may make my own coreutils in C later to make it even smaller and with less bloat.

What it offers:

  1. Main:
    • Plus Linux is based on Kernel 5.15.127
    • It's using Busybox as the systemutils
    • With that it is complete GNU and Systemd free
  2. Goals:
    • To fit on a single floppy drive (1.44Mb)
    • Having less bloat than other distros like U*untu
    • Trying to be stable

Features:

  • Plus Linux is so bare bones that you cannot move files with mv. To save space you can use cp and rm for this use.
  • Did I already mention that it can run on anything? Try running it on your 23 year old IBM NetVista from the year 2000 ;)
  • Darkmode by default!
  • Manage your Computer when you messed something up. Mount and unmount drivers or delete your friends nice images he downloaded of 4chan!
  • Expandable! Get a second floppy and put something small on it like suckless software which is only a few kilobytes in size! With that you have a ful Linux system on two floppydisks supporting graphics and webbrowsing!
