The graphical environment in Slax is built on the FluxBox window manager and the xLunch program launch interface, specifically developed by the project participants. The bootable ISO image is 530 MB (x86_64).<\/p>\n<p>In the new version:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> The distribution has switched to the Debian package base. Until 2013, the distribution was based on Slackware, after which it stopped updating and was revived in 2018, but restructured using Debian packages, the APT package manager, and the systemd initialization system. In 2022, the project returned to Slackware again, and now it has switched back to Debian.\n<li class=\"l\"> A new application navigation interface has been proposed, activated by pressing the Super key or clicking the green button in the left corner of the taskbar. The list displays not only the applications included in the base package but also programs available for installation (next to such programs, an arrow is shown, and clicking it will load, install, and open the program).<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/d944d9a9e595cd100ac21f1ed3c432d4.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<li class=\"l\"> The visual style of all applications has been unified, and they now look like part of a single system.\n<li class=\"l\"> A preview of open windows has been implemented in the Alt+Tab application switching interface.\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/dbb60cfd1b53508c10fb3f79d25261b6.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<li class=\"l\"> Preview of all application windows is provided when hovering the cursor over the program icon on the taskbar.\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/40c2a0cc4d5f8ab455282ae14d768d6a.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<li class=\"l\"> Pressing Alt+F3 now displays the contents of four items on one screen simultaneously. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/vps\/abuzoustojchivye-vps\/\"   title=\"virtual desktops\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">virtual desktops<\/a>.\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/42f89e32efb8261f2c0c6b21c895429c.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<li class=\"l\"> The ability to change the keyboard layout through an indicator on the taskbar has been added.
