What is the fastest, slimmest version of Linux possible (with GUI)?

>>51498178
Gentoo

Gentoo or Arch with some lightweight wm like i3

Ubuntu

>>51498203
Lubuntu

What's the fastest without gui?

>>51498226
>>51498203
No bunto is anywhere near lightweight.

>>51498178
to be honest the all get about the same size once you install GTK and Qt/KDE frameworks.

Why use a bloated fork?

Gentoo or Arch with no de.

I would assume a well compiled Gentoo would be the fasts Linux your machine could achieve. However, I doubt it'll actually result in much perceived speed improvement.
As for GUI, if you want ultra slim and fast you'll probably want to avoid a full fledged Desktop Environment altogether.

Tiny core.
Can run on 64mb ram iirc, with a gui.

I have it installed on my old 430mhz celeron laptop with 256mb ram and it runs great.

>>51498248
Not true. My full setup with cinnamon has 585 installed packages. Buntu and its forks have near 3000.

slackware

>>51498178
Debian with XFCE

>>51498304
This. It's solid, XFCE looks good after customizing, and fast.

puppy linux

>>51498304
>>51498377
>Xfeces
Also it's not near of what OP wants

>>51498178
The smallest you are going to get with a usable desktop is probably Tiny Core. It's 15 megs with the GUI, and 10 without it.

Ubuntu

Crunchbang is pretty light. Other than that there Puppy Linux, or you can go the LFS route and pretty much make it as small as you want it to be.

>>51498242
Gentoo or arch if you want something usable, if not, Damn Small Linux.

>>51498178
Did he fucking cut off her hair? Holy shit

>>51498304
xfce is dead

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>51498178
probably arch with lxde or xfce

>>51499056
That's a dick move.

>>51498275
>>51498381
these are the only good answers.

Gentoo or Arch are gigantic in comparison.

Or DSL, if you really want it small.

>>51498178
tiny core linux

can't you google?

>>51498178
Smallest distros are so small it's ridiculous. Where would you possibly need them? What are you planning on?

Linux is a kernel. There is no GUI. I'd say that purely a kernel, with no other software, is pretty fast/slim.

install slackware 2.0 and install only A, N and X disk sets. It should run fine on any 386/486 pc and it will be the smallest working linux distro with a GUI.

>>51498303
This.

64 megabytes of RAM is wayy too fucking much.

>>51498178
Puppy slacko. I could never get the browser to work though and I wasn't convinced that it was maintained. I remember getting the text browser to work.

It's not linux but there's a couple of floppy OS's like Menuet.

>>51498249
Can't get much more bloated than Unity.

>>51499496
I'd be doing some dick moves if I had that lock of hair. I wonder what shampoo she uses?

>>51498178
Whoever took this pic should get jumped/stabbed

>>51500673
for real though

Why do girls smell so good?

>>51500740
Pheromones, deodorant, shampoo, body lotion, feminine hygiene products, bubblegum, perfume, take your pick.

>ermehgerd he cut my hair he deserves to die
>meanwhile she probably fucked who did it immediately afterward

>>51500740
good hygiene

>>51500834
it's clearly staged
i'm pretty sure this could be considered assault if it was just some autist cutting some classmate's hair.

>>51500850
>good hygiene
The average young woman showers about half as often as the average young man.

>>51500877
Women also sweat much less than men do.
Body hair is a vector for trapping odors and most women have none.

>>51500834
Cool story kek

>>51499056
it's all a staged meme

>>51500850
>i'm pretty sure this could be considered assault if it was just some autist cutting some classmate's hair.
So is rape, but most women enjoy that. That guy probably got his brains fucked out immediately after class.

Lubuntu ot Puppy. Though I'll note I don't have much experience outside of the Ubuntu based distros.

Just installed Lubuntu on my Thinkpad T30, and to me actually feels usable without having to be patient because it's an old machine trying to keep up. It'll actually play HD 720 videos, whereas others might struggle to even play 480, Some options I usually expect to be in a control panel setting I had to do via the command line, but otherwise like it so far. If this Thinkpad didn't have a 802.11b card, I'd actually consider carrying it around.

>cutting Tifa's hair

what a dick

>>51499285
Damn Small Linux is too small, you can't do anything with it.

>>51498178
windows CE

man this image really takes me back

I never cut some bitches hair, but I loitered through math class with a view just like that with the girl in front of me. I remember the teacher had a parent conference cause i wouldnt stop talking to that girl


shoulda chopped her locks and snapped a pic

>>51498178
xubuntu

>>51498178
Tiny core

For a reason this picture makes my cock rock hard.

SmartOS, though it's actually Illumos not Linux,
