Title: tinycore For The Masses
Post by: truth on January 04, 2026, 11:23:11 PM
Hi,

This is a feature request -

Tinycore is great, but it looks kind of crappy compared to Plasma.

Feature request:

Plasma look and feel for tinycore, at least the fonts and icons and bottom left start button and 4 workspaces and wifi and volume and date/time and battery charge - that's it?  Easy!

Get cracking Babes!

I thinking you would benefit from lurking silently in the forums for a few weeks or months, maybe get a feel for the community.

Someone else feel free to smack me if I'm out of line.

@Leee

perhaps "truth" stands for "the reality underlying this hallucination"(is ai/llvm/slop)

no smacks necessary

good day mate

Hi truth
Looks like you didn't read the intro page:

Is Tiny Core for me?

If Linux and distributions are confusing to you, then Tiny Core might not be for you. To help you decide, you need to know a few things about Tiny Core.

To get started, Tiny Core is:

    Not a duplicate of another really common operating system. Tiny Core doesn't have a pretty boot screen, or stock wallpaper, and Tiny Core certainly doesn't have its own advertising campaigns.

    Not a 'turnkey' operating system. Tiny Core can help you do what you need to do, but Tiny Core stays tiny by not including tools like a browser or word processor (but Tiny Core can help you download and install those really quickly).

    Not for everyone. Tiny Core is fast, powerful, and flexible. You can use Tiny Core without much technical knowledge, but, like any strong tool, Tiny Core becomes really useful if you know how to use it. Great starter skills could include command line usage, simple shell scripting, and Linux file and permission management, and some reasonably fast typing skills.

Tinycore gives you a basic no-frills operating system. It's up to you to
put in the work required to turn it into whatever you want.
