MiniOS is a lightweight and fast Linux distribution that runs directly from a USB drive. Based on Debian, it inherits its stability and rich software repository. MiniOS is an excellent choice for creating a mobile workstation, developing specialized systems, or getting to know Linux.

A key feature of MiniOS is its modular architecture. You get a basic set of modules and can easily remove, disable, or create your own, customizing the system for specific tasks. This flexibility allows you to build highly specialized configurations, achieving maximum performance by eliminating unnecessary components and integrating the necessary ones. The process of module management is simplified thanks to built-in tools.

Live mode allows you to work with MiniOS without installing it on a hard disk, while preserving user data and settings. EFI and Legacy BIOS support guarantees compatibility with almost any device.

User Reviews

  • I have been following your distro for a while now. I have seen it go through a lot of changes. You have put in a good deal of effort and you should be applauded for your efforts. But it is not all happy days. I don't understand why you expect someone to be happy with having their existing operating system wiped out completely - just to install yours. Why ? That sort of thinking is for Windows users - not linux. Why not provide a user friendly 'Calamares' installer that sees existing Operating systems and allows for a new system - like yours to be installed side by side ? Like a normal dual boot situation. Is that too difficult or too much to ask ? If I am critical, it's because I have close to 25 years under my belt using linux. Your Mini-OS offers great opportunity - but it needs to play nicely with other existing Operating systems.
