4MLinux has been around since 2010 and, unlike most Linux distros, comes without a package manager. However, this lightweight operating system comes with JWM as the default window manager, along with the Conky system monitoring tool. Wine is also present out-of-the-box. The Game Edition version provides native support for iconic games from the 1990s, such as Doom and Hexen. Today, version 4MLinux has reached version 46.0, which is the first release to include GTK 4.
In addition to the updated GTK widget toolkit, 4MLinux 46.0 comes with the following:
In addition to the refreshed software mentioned above, 4MLinux 46.0 also allows its users to run a BusyBox 1.36.1-based HTTP/FTP server. Developers should also keep in mind that Perl 5.38.2, Python 2.7.18, Python 3.11.8, and Ruby 3.3.0 are also available for them in case they are planning to use this distro.
With this release, there is no more 4MServer version, as the standard build also includes its components. In terms of file support, 4MLinux now can handle Windows Enhanced Metafiles (EMF images) and raw image files such as CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF, and DNG. The system requirements are very low, with just 128 MB memory required for a HDD/SSD install or 1650 MB for a live environment.
The list of new apps includes DVDAuthor, qv4l2, and VCDImager, while the GamePack downloadable extension now includes the classic GNU Go game. Those looking for a classic Linux game can grab Myth 2: Soulblighter off Amazon for just $9.99 in physical form (CD-ROM).
