Features

Slint is a stable distribution. However, accessibility software is regularly updated, others may be updated on a case by case basis.
The installer is accessible with speech and braille, as well as the installed system.
The included software, among which the MATÉ and LXQt desktops (with XFCE installed on-demand), cover most needs. Many others are available in repositories maintained by Salix and Slackware that are fully compatible with Slint.
Easy-to-use tools facilitate system administration and software package management. Updates are fully automatic, under user control.
By default, a compressed swap space in RAM allows doubling the usable memory.
Slint can be installed on any 64-bit machine with at least 2G of memory, and 50G available on any medium including USB keys, without secure boot.
If installed on USB media Slint is portable from one computer to another. The media can be fully encrypted.
If the BTRFS file system is chosen during installation (default in case of auto partitioning ), snapshots of the system can be taken and rolled back at will.
