    Absolute Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution that works on older hardware and is based on Slackware Linux.[2] The client is designed for everyday use (internet, multimedia, documents). Absolute Linux's default window and file managers are IceWM and ROX-Filer.[3] Some of the programs offered by default include: GIMP, LibreOffice, Firefox, Xfburn, p7zip, qBittorrent, and Vivaldi.[4] Many script utilities are included with Absolute Linux to aid with configuration and maintenance of the system.

    Absolute Linux uses a graphical frontend to XPKGTOOL. Absolute Linux also bundles Gsplat, a Graphical frontend to Slapt-get which works similarly to Apt-get.[5]
