PorteuX is a Linux distro based on Slackware, inspired by Slax and Porteus and available to the public for free. Its main goal is to be super fast, small, portable, modular and immutable (if the user wants so).

It's already pre-configured for basic usage, including lightweight applications for each one of the 7 desktop environments available. No browser is included, but an app store is provided so you can download the most popular browsers, as well as Steam, VirtualBox, Nvidia drivers, Wine, office suite, multilib (32-bit compat), messengers, emulators, etc.

Out of the box PorteuX can open basically any multimedia file. Hardware acceleration is enabled by default for machines with Intel, AMD or Nvidia cards (for Nvidia cards it's required to download Nvidia driver from the app store).

PorteuX is lightweight and snappy. Although it can run on old machines, it is on high end machines that the user will experience everything PorteuX can offer in terms of performance. The ISOs are small and memory RAM consumption is highly optimized.

For better performance, it's recommended to have PorteuX installed on a SSD/NVMe storage unit instead of a USB flash drive, or to select 'Copy To RAM' option in the boot menu. The latter will result in a slower boot time, but after booting the system will run 100% in RAM, which is the fastest way possible.
