Slackware-based Zenwalk Linux returns with "Santa Claus" edition
Quoting: Slackware-based Zenwalk Linux returns with "Santa Claus" edition —
Zenwalk Linux targets desktop users and has been around for almost two decades. At the end of May 2024, it surfaced as Minislack. In mid-August 2005, it changed its name to Zenwalk. It currently uses Xfce as its desktop environment, but GNOME and KDE fans can grab the packages separately and make the switch on their own. Last year, the project was quite silent, although it received the Syncthing continuous file synchronization app and the Waterfox web browser alongside various system updates and fresh Adwaita visual themes with a unified look for GTK4, GTK3, GTK2, and QT applications. Now, Xfce 4.20 arrives as part of the "Santa Claus" edition, which is also labeled 241227.

Slackware-Based Zenwalk Current 2024 "Santa Claus" Edition Released
Zenwalk is a lightweight, fast, and minimalistic Linux distribution based on Slackware, betting on the Xfce desktop environment, designed to provide a streamlined desktop experience for users who prefer simplicity and efficiency.
Tailored for general-purpose desktop use, it uses Slackware’s package management tools but adds its customizations and optimizations. For example, the distro has its own package manager, Netpkg, which simplifies software installation and management compared to Slackware’s traditional tools. Now, back to the topic.
