As someone who has used the original DSL I'm delighted to see this project revived. The initial interface looks nicely familiar. For such a compact distro I think it looks great and certainly doesn't "feel" like it's missing any of the basic core stuff, with a pleasant interface on top.
One thing I noticed in the installer is an option to include changes made to the Live desktop session! Nice touch.
I did find in my case that the default terminal wouldn't launch (the urxvt one does though!) - I haven't read the other threads on here yet so that might already be covered. I'm testing this in VirtualBox on a Manjaro KDE host.
I'll experiment with this and let you know how I get on. This will be handy to have on a USB stick so I'll include it on my Ventoy ones.
P.S. I didn't see any mention of "minimum" system requirements, but it looks like it could run (at least for basic tasks) in less than 256MB of RAM? I'll have to experiment with that. I guess 64MB might be a bit too small, though!
