DESIGN GOAL

Built to stay out of the way

TheTodd.Design Linux is built around a simple idea: the operating system should use as few resources as practical so more of the computer remains available for creative applications.

The desktop combines Openbox with the XFCE4 menu, providing a lightweight environment without giving up quick access to installed software and familiar desktop controls.

Only essential applications are included, keeping the base install compact and making it easier to customize the system around a specific workstation.

LIGHTWEIGHT Minimal background overhead

More CPU and memory remain available for Blender, graphics, and editing workloads.

FOCUSED Only the essentials

A cleaner starting point without a large collection of unnecessary applications.

FLEXIBLE Easy to build on

Use the base install as-is or expand it with the tools needed for a specific workstation.

SYSTEM PROFILE

Small footprint

INSTALLED SIZE 9.1 GB

Base system footprint after installation.

IDLE MEMORY 587 MB

Approximate memory use on a fresh base install.

WINDOW MANAGER Openbox

Fast, simple, and lightweight desktop management.

APPLICATION MENU XFCE4

Convenient access to programs without a heavy desktop shell.

Newer processors, additional memory, and faster storage will improve application performance, but the distribution is intentionally suitable for older or lower-spec systems as well.
