Fishy Linux

Fishy Linux is a fast and minimal Debian-based Linux distribution. It uses the lightweight and efficient Openbox desktop environment. The distribution includes custom lightweight applications designed to make everyday use easier. Fishy Linux comes with broad hardware support and can be installed to disk using Calamares.

To start Calamares, open the terminal and type:
install-fishy

Note:
There is no sudo password in live mode. Do not lock the screen or leave the system idle. If the screen gets locked, you won’t be able to unlock it and will need to reboot the system.

Openbox is not very stable in VirtualBox, and you may experience resolution or sound issues. For the most stable experience, boot it from a USB on your real hardware.
