Developer Krzysztof Jankowski released Floppinux 2025, a minimal embedded Linux distribution that fits on a single 1.44MB floppy disk. The release updates the classic concept for modern hardware while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems.

The distribution includes a 32-bit kernel, basic utilities, and supports PS/2 keyboards and VGA output. While tiny by today's standards, it demonstrates how minimal Linux systems can still function on constrained hardware. This revival caters to retro computing enthusiasts and embedded developers.

Jankowski's project builds on decades-old traditions of floppy-based Linux distributions like Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux. These systems proved valuable for hardware diagnostics, education, and low-resource computing scenarios where full operating systems are overkill.
