The New DSL 2024 has been reborn as a compact Linux distribution tailored for low-spec x86 computers. It packs a lot of applications into a small package. All the applications are chosen for their functionality, small size, and low dependencies. DSL 2024 also has many text-based applications that make it handy to use in a term window or TTY.

DSL 2024 currently only ships with two window managers: Fluxbox and JWM. Both are lightweight, fairly intuitive, and easy to use.

DSL has four X-based web browsers:
  • Firefox-esr (Extended Support Release, fully HTML5 compatible)
  • NetSurf GTK (quick, easy on RAM, good HTML4 and CSS support)
  • Dillo (super-light GUI browser)
  • Links2 (text and light GUI browser)

For office applications, DSL has:
  • AbiWord word processor
  • Gnumeric spreadsheets
  • Sylpheed email client
  • Zathura PDF viewer

For multimedia applications:
  • MPV (video and audio)
  • XMMS (a lightweight audio player)

Other applications:
  • mtPaint (graphics editing)
  • gFTP (FTP, SFTP, and SCP)
  • Leafpad (quick editing)
  • zzzFM (file manager lifted straight out of antiX)

There are three GUI-based games picked because they are fun and relatively light.

DSL 2024 is also loaded up with a whole bunch of handy term-based applications:

  • Ranger file manager
  • VisiData a powerful CSV and spreadsheet tool
  • FZF fuzzy finder
  • Tmux terminal multiplexer
  • Mutt email client
  • Cmus music player
  • CDW CD burner
  • Htop, an interactive process viewer
  • SurfRaw (with wrapper) to search from the term
  • Weather App
  • MPV video/audio player with wrapper
  • Vim and Nano for editing
  • Five term-based games
  • Two term-compatible web browsers: W3M and Links2
...and much more
