Featherweight Linux
Featherweight Linux was an installable live CD based on Feather Linux. It was a full featured distribution with a small foot print that was light and fast, even on older machines, but still carries a knockout punch. It comes with a minimal KDE desktop and several favourite applications.

Valeria Fadeeva has announced the release of a new version of Melawy Linux, an Arch-based desktop Linux distribution with a customised KDE Plasma as the preferred desktop. The new version, labelled as 2025.07.04, comes with updated packages as well as various important changes. Most notably, the distribution now uses the XanMod kernel, a general-purpose Linux kernel with custom settings and third-party patches. Previously, Melawy Linux used a kernel built by CachyOS for improved performance and responsiveness, but the CachyOS kernel does not work on some laptops. Also, the XanMod kernel offers support for Waydroid, a container-based method that enables Android to run in a containerized environment on Linux systems. The new release also comes with unspecified bug fixes. Visit the project's news page to read the brief release announcement (in Russian) and to see the screenshots. Although Melawy Linux is a Russian project, the distribution defaults to an English-language user interface. The latest version, provided in "Base" and "Developer" editions, is available in for download from SourceForge as split ISO images or as torrents (pkglist): Melawy-Linux-Base-System-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (7,443MB, torrent, SHA256, signature), Melawy-Linux-Developer-Edition-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (11,707MB, torrent, SHA256, signature). |
