Canada is among the top countries downloading BashCore.

Clean systems. Real Debian. Full control.
In a country where privacy, engineering, and open source meet, BashCore feels right at home.

Thank you 🇨🇦

Assigned 8 cores and 8GB RAM to BashCoreTX on my MSI Katana (i7 / 32GB).
TX runs like a razor, even inside VirtualBox.
Fast, clean, stable, silent.
XFCE + Kernel 6.12 + Debian 13: more than enough power, without waste.

Forgot my USB sticks, took the PC... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Weekend testing with BashCoreTX on VirtualBox instead, and it runs like a charm.

Even in emergencies, TX delivers 👊
XFCE + Trixie + Kernel 6.12 = portable power.

Tweaked a bit with Mullvad and Tor browsers 😎

Russia is among the top 5 countries for BashCore downloads.

Not surprising: BashCore is quiet, lean, and under full control.
No cloud, no telemetry, no noise, just tools that obey.
For those who own the system, not just use it.

Спасибо 🇷🇺

🇩🇪 Danke, Germany.

BashCore is spreading silently, and Germany is now the second country in terms of downloads.
Where clean engineering, modular thinking and performance matter, BashCore finds its place.

We don’t advertise. We don’t push.
You found us anyway.

USA is by far the first country for BashCore downloads.
Maybe because BashCore isn’t a product, it’s a tool.

Built for sysadmins, hackers, devs, and those who don’t want to be told what to install.
No marketing. Just power 👊

BashCoreTX is now live on SourceForge.
XFCE + Debian Trixie + PREEMPT_RT.
No bloat. No marketing. Just control.

We’re in the mosh now 👊
Let’s see who’s still standing after the wall of kernel.

BashCoreTX is a Formula 1 without paint or sponsors.

Every gram saved on aesthetics is power redirected to engine and electronics.

XFCE + Trixie + PREEMPT_RT, stripped down to the core.

Fast, built for action... not to show 🤘

BashCoreTX is up and running 🤘

XFCE + Trixie + Kernel 6.12 (PREEMPT_RT).
X = Bookworm+XFCE+6.1
T = Trixie+CLI+6.12

Now testing begins, let’s see what breaks (because something will 😆).

BashCoreTX is coming 🤘

A fusion of X (XFCE + Bookworm + 6.1) and T (CLI + Trixie + 6.12).

The result: XFCE + Trixie + Kernel 6.12 (PREEMPT_RT).
Trixie isn’t stable yet, but Kali already uses 6.12 so... we’re pushing forward, faster, lighter, meaner.

Let’s bring order 😎

MS-DOS: the ultimate minimalist hipster OS that Linux could never be! 😎 While Linux is busy flexing with its bloatware muscles 💪, real geeks know the only true text-based interface is DOS - because anything more is clearly just compensating. 😂

At a time when Linux distributions were growing larger and more resource-intensive, Damn Small Linux (DSL) proved that efficiency could still reign supreme. First released in 2003, DSL was a fully functional Linux system that fit into just 50MB. It could run entirely from a USB stick or a business card-sized CD, making it perfect for lightweight systems, rescue operations, and breathing life into ancient hardware.

Despite its small size, DSL packed a graphical interface, a web browser, an office suite, and essential networking tools. It became a favorite among minimalists and tech enthusiasts who wanted a portable Linux environment with near-instant boot times. Though its development slowed in the 2010s, DSL has made a comeback, with a revived version appearing in 2023. Even in a world of gigabyte-heavy operating systems, its philosophy of efficiency and portability still holds up today.
