Kevin Lange has announced the release of ToaruOS 2.3.0, the latest version of the independently-developed hobby operating system built from scratch. It comes with a bootloader, kernel, drivers, C library and userspace, as well as a composited graphical user interface, a syntax-highlighting text editor and a network stack. Although newly added to DistroWatch, the project has been in continuous development since 2011. "ToaruOS 2.3 is now available. What's new? Terminal tabs - the terminal emulator now supports multiple tabs, create tabs with Ctrl-Shift-T, swap with Alt-1 through Alt-9. Manual viewer - a full man stack has been added, combining a roff formatter and a more complete more, plus a bunch of manual pages. Kernel improvements - tons of a new system calls like pread/pwrite, sigsuspend, sigqueue, fcntl, support for FD_CLOEXEC and FD_CLOFORK, TTY line control and hangups. And more - the latest Bim and Kuroko versions; tons of new utilities and new options in existing utilities." Visit the project's release page on GitHub for a detailed changelog, known issues and screenshots. The same page also offers an ISO image to download; it is a standard x86_64 PC build with native bootloaders and, according to the developer, should work in most virtual machines using BIOS. Here is the download link: v2.3.0/image.iso (7.14MB). |

| Random Distribution | 
MiyoLinux
MiyoLinux was a minimalist Linux distribution based on Devuan. The project provides various live images with a range of lightweight desktop environments and window managers, such as JWM, Kwin, MATE and Openbox. The distribution stays intentionally frugal and the decision to expand the installed system, using either the traditional command-line tools or the Synaptic frontend, remains with the user.
Status: Discontinued
