"There's also a port of Raven Software's old Hexen II game (loved playing that), and a few other games. Also: Have an old PC? These 5 lightweight Linux distributions will bring it back to life The biggest change, however, is that 4MLinux features reproducible builds, which means the same source code will always produce the same binary output. This ensures that the distribution's software can be verified as genuine and untampered, and that the binaries created always match the original source code."
"There are, however, some distributions that were built from scratch and have no ties to those listed above. Why are those distributions necessary? Well, some developers believe more is always better. At the same time, some developers aren't satisfied with simply rebranding and retooling something that already exists. By creating a Linux distribution from scratch, a developer is in complete control over what goes into the OS, how it looks and behaves, and how often it's updated. One such distribution is 4MLinux."
4MLinux 50.0 is a from-scratch Linux distribution that emphasizes developer control over included components, appearance, behavior, and update cadence. The release updates preinstalled applications including LibreOffice 25.8, AbiWord 3.0.6, GIMP 3.1.4, Gnumeric 1.12.59, Firefox 145.0, Chrome 142.0, Thunderbird 140.5, Audacious 4.5.1, VLC 3.0.21, SMPlayer 25.6.0, and Mesa 25.1.7. The release adds a port of Hexen II and other games. The release implements reproducible builds so identical source produces identical binaries, enabling verification that binaries match source and remain untampered. The distribution is free to download and use.
