The Slackware-based PorteuX 2.3 distribution, inspired by Slax and Porteus and designed to be super fast, small, portable, modular, and immutable, is out today with various updates and changes.

Just like PorteuX 2.2, the PorteuX 2.3 release is still powered by the Linux 6.16 kernel series, but it now ships with the brand-new GNOME 49 desktop environment, which also includes a new terminal emulator application called Ptyxis. So if you want to use GNOME 49 on Slackware, you can download PorteuX right now.
