Zenwalk GNU Linux 15.0 - The power of Zen

Zenwalk GNU Linux is a Slackware-based GNU/Linux operating system with a goal of being slim and fast by using only one application per task and with a focus on graphical desktop and multimedia usage. The distribution offers a 64-bit platform running the Xfce desktop environment. Along with various updated components and applications the distribution has provided portable package support in the form of running Flatpak bundles.

The latest version of Zenwalk is 1.2GB in size and I was curious to see how this desktop-oriented distribution would compare with its parent which I talked about earlier this year. When I tried Slackware back in February I ran into a number of issues which, I felt, made the distribution difficult to use as a desktop platform when compared next to other modern Linux distributions. By trying out Zenwalk I was hoping to see how the project would perform with a narrowed focus (fewer default applications, one desktop, and additional package management options installed by default) while using most of the same technology present in its parent.
