New Website, 64-bit Ahead — and SliTaz 2046

March 2026

SliTaz turns 20 this year. Time for a new coat of paint, a clear roadmap, and a few dreams.

New Website

The website has been completely redesigned — clean layout, proper mobile support, six languages, and a design that should hold up for the next decade. Built by hand, no frameworks, as SliTaz things should be.

64-bit is Priority #1

Shann's work on a full native 64-bit SliTaz is the main focus. The goal is a complete 64-bit userland — kernel, toolchain, wok — built from scratch. When it ships, it will be the most significant release since the move to rolling. No ETA, but the work is real and moving.

SliTaz Core

A new private Signal group for contributors is live: SliTaz Core. Development coordination, technical decisions, infrastructure, releases — if you are actively contributing, join in.

SliTaz 2046

20 years of SliTaz. The original idea was simple: a complete GNU/Linux system that boots from a CD, fits in RAM, and gets out of your way. That idea still works. It will still work in 2046.

What might change: smarter package builds with AI assistance, better hardware support, maybe a Wayland compositor that weighs nothing. What will not change: POSIX, minimalism, the wok, the philosophy. SliTaz does not bloat. It never will.

Twenty years from now, we want SliTaz to still boot faster than your coffee brews. That is the goal. Simple.
