T2 SDE is an open-source system development environment. T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. The project's latest release, version 21.4, expands T2 SDE to support 15 CPU architectures, including ARM, PowerPC, RISCV, SPARC64, and x86_64. The project has also upgraded development packages and libraries, including the GNU compiler and Rust. Hardware support has been expanded by including version 5.11 of the Linux kernel. "Today the T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.4 was released, with the largest amount of pre- and cross-compiled set of architectures releases ever! A total of 15 architectures: x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, riscv64, riscv, ppc64le, ppc64-32, ppc sparc64, mips64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha and ia64! The 21.4 release received updates across the board, while a major working target was adding new architecture support for RISCV(32), as further improving cross compilation and support for vintage retro system like the Sony PS3 and Sgi Octane, but also DEC Alpha and Intel IA64. Low memory optimizations allow the 32-bit x86 variant to boot on 486 with as little as 48MB of RAM." Information on this release can be found on the project's home page.

| About T2
|
| T2 Linux SDE is an independently-developed open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit). It enables the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is used, but the project plans an expansion to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD kernels too. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.

Distribution Release: T2 Linux SDE 26.6 |
|
T2 Linux SDE is an independently-developed open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit). It enables the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. The project's latest release, version 26.6, polishes the KDE Plasma build and expands RISC-V support. "This T2/Linux release continues to polish our flagship KDE Plasma Desktop integration, now with out-of-the-box Flatpak and Discover app store and support for more RISC architectures. For the first time, a consistently, fully reproducible, cross-compiled modern Wayland-based KDE Plasma experience is also delivered not only on x86-64 and ARM64 glibc, but also on Musl LLVM/Clang based builds and more RISC machines, such as DEC Alpha, Sgi MIPS64! Support for latest ARM64 and RISCV64 SoCs with Mesa Panfrost and PowerVR graphic support was significantly improved, too. The result is a reproducible, modern Linux system spanning mainstream and RISC architectures alike. Combining a cutting-edge KDE Wayland desktop with T2's long-standing cross-platform support." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download: t2-26.6-x86-64-desktop-glibc-gcc-nocona.iso (3,606MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

| Random Distribution | 
WOMP!
WOMP! was a micro Linux distribution focused on multimedia. It takes only 13 to 30MB depending on the selected options on a bootable CD, and allows playing a wide range of multimedia files (video/audio/image) without installing any software on the computer's hard drive. Additionally, WOMP! can also be installed on the hard drive - either to run in memory just like a bootable CD, or to run from a read-only loopback file which was interesting for machines with low memory. It can then be booted either by a floppy boot disk or by a bootable CD. WOMP! uses FrameBuffer for playing videos and X for interacting with the user. Hardware acceleration was provided by vidix. Cards that support vidix include nearly all ATI and Matrox cards, and more recent NVIDIA cards.
Status: Discontinued
