Built to beat Tiny Core. No bloat, no fat, no filler — a Linux distribution so small it almost isn’t there.
00 / countdown
Counting down to zero.
A live clock, straight from the release machine. It turns itself over on the night.
It’s out.
The ISO is just a door — boot it, then wifi and
pkg install whatever you actually need.
Clock not running? The release is Wednesday 30 September 2026 at 23:00 UK time either way.
01 / the brief

02 / why so small
The less there is, the less there is to break.
Every megabyte of a distro is software that can fail, slow down, or get in the way. TEENY CORE LINUX strips that away — only what a Linux system genuinely needs, nothing more.
This is a no-compromise project. Tiny Core is tiny. We set out to prove the floor could be lower, and we got there. When it ships on Wednesday night, you measure the whole thing in megabytes you can count on one hand.
It’s too small.
TEENY CORE LINUX drops Wednesday 30 September 2026, at 23:00 UK time. Get ready.
