A desktop / launcher thing.
Too annoying to get working.
From the author of Slax, who (as of 2017-10-04) apparently abandoned that project but has the time to make this one. Sigh.

I’ve used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.

An operating system most notably on mobile phones, but also found on media boxes.
Fundamentally flawed – It is tethered to Google in as many ways as they’ve made possible. From a time server, to internet traffic compression. From google play requiring an account requiring your verified phone number. From hoops to download and install software from their store. It’s fucking awful.

A taskbar.
After some work, this can be made sensible. I prefer LXPanel or fbpanel.

A desktop environment/window manager that continues GNOME version 2, after it was abandoned.

I much prefer Openbox, but I wanted to try this a little.
