TrixiePup64 2601 Released For Debian 13 Powered Puppy Linux In Wayland & X11 Flavors

Written by Michael Larabel in Operating Systems on 4 January 2026 at 07:25 AM EST. 10 Comments
For those with fond memories of Puppy Linux as a very lightweight Linux distribution, released last month was a new TrixiePup64 for continuing the Puppy Linux spirit atop Debian. The new TrixiePup64 is based on Debian 13 components while shipping in both X11 and Wayland flavors. Out now is TrixiePup64 2601 as the latest iteration of this lightweight Linux distribution.

TrixiePup64 2601 is now available in pulling in the latest Debian packages while continuing to use the Linux 6.12 kernel and other components found with the Trixie release.

The Wayland version of TrixiePup64 is using the Labwc compositor with SpaceFM file manager, SFWbar panel, ConnMan for connection management, and Zstd compression for helping to reduce the file size.

There are a fair amount of bundled apps by default for the Wayland version of TrixiePup64 2601 all fitting in a 1.1 GB ISO.
