microTeLOS

micro TeLOS is a light on resources and easy to use, web-centric Linux distribution, a Debian 11 derivative, featuring a customized Openbox Window Manager and its own software manager application, Waffles. micro TeLOS introduces what we call the Linux double layer strategy. That means we do our best to make Linux and its values accessible to non-technical users by offering an intuitive Operating System suitable for most hardware, where you can safely surf the Web, effortlessly install your favorite apps or accomplish other simple tasks. At the same time, micro TeLOS is seamlessly suitable for experienced users who love tinkering with their systems, remaster and remix them, develop stuff or run Virtual Machines. Too good to be true? Try micro TeLOS and tell us what you think about it. We are evolving, therefore we might further improve..
