Besgnulinux 4-0: A Lightweight Debian Spin for Old Hardware Besgnulinux is a one-man effort based on Debian that aims to prevent old machines from becoming garbage "and making people happy with a light system" while also being "a source of happiness" for its users. Version 4-0 arrives based on a Debian Trixie core and uses JWM as its desktop environment. Targeting 64-bit processors, it needs roughly 8 GB of disk space and uses an average of 320 MB.
System Core and Requirements
In addition to the above, it should also be mentioned that Besgnulinux 4-0 runs on the 6.12.90+deb13-amd64 kernel, uses the Calamares installer, rocks the bes-own-dark icon theme alongside the besgnulinux-dark, and it supports Grub installation via UEFI and BIOS. Those who take it for a spin should keep in mind that the user name and password are "besgnulinux/live" and, according to its maker, this version "has been purged of leaking, conflicting, or background processes" to provide the best experience possible.
Updates and Visuals
The update comes with several visual improvements and plenty of package replacements, such as: Besgnulinux is available for download via SourceForge. There is a single ISO file for version 4-0 and it has 2.7 GB in size. However, those who might want to try older versions can also find them available. An intriguing choice is version 02-09_0, which runs on the old i386 architecture and comes in the shape of a 2.4 GB ISO file.
