Entropy Linux
Based on MX-Minimal. Built for experimentation and everyday use.

Entropy is an experimental system for people who like to tinker.
It’s optimized for AMD™ hardware, has a global dark theme, and includes practical built-in tools.
Made by one developer and a few friends, it’s not polished,
it’s a system for learning, experimenting, and making things work.

Why Entropy?

Custom Tools: Practical software to save time and simplify tasks.
AMD™ Optimized: Designed to run smoothly on AMD hardware.
Part of a Bigger Idea: A piece of the growing ecosystem, tying projects together.
Entropy is a work in progress with regular updates and plenty of room for experimentation. It might need some tweaking to fit your flow, but that’s part of the fun.

  • I've used Entropy linux since V7.1. (for about a month) not seen any major bug since then. There is only one small problem with support more than two screens, when system is locked an screen is off after waking up one of the screen's is sometimes shut off/disconected or misaranged . Overall nice expirience. All drivers work like charm. Even supports sound blaster sound card.

    Thanks for the feedback! If it’s not a UEFI misconfiguration, it’s probably something with XFCE. Either way, I’ll look into it and aim to get it fixed in the next patch. I appreciate you taking the time to report the issue, it helps make Entropy better place for everyone!
  • have been using Entropy Linux since V2, which I installed on my work laptop because Win10 was too slow. After installing Linux, the laptop got a new life. Entropy Linux is similar to MX Minimal, but slightly better equipped and has a nicer graphical interface. In version V2, printer drivers, print server and p-mount were missing, which was added in the next version. I'm currently using version V4 where the most bothersome thing is the lack of automatic audio switching to HDMI. This OS handles everyday work well, such as web browsing and video rendering. So far, I managed to ruin the system by having a lot of browser tabs open while rendering the movie, which may be related to the 8GB RAM and not the system itself. You have to install all the programs yourself, it's not like Mint that has built-in office packages XD. A nice addition is the pwr program that manages the sleep or shutdown of the computer on a timer, also a nice program is apprun which stores files with the AppImage extension in the home/username/szmelc/exec/ folder, which allows you to display the list and select quickly after entering apprun in the terminal.

    Thanks for the feedback! Entropy has changed quite a bit since Alpha v2/v4. \ I’m really glad you’re enjoying the software! Don’t forget to check out the new features we add with every update—just run the szmelc command for all the details. I’ll look into the audio mixer issue, which should be an easy fix! As for Office software, we left it out for the same reason we did not include printer drivers: to keep things lightweight and avoid unnecessary bloat. By the way, setting up a Linux swap partition might help with your RAM issues. It won’t make things faster, but it’ll stop your system from crashing when you hit 100% memory usage. Im sorry to inform, but printer drivers won’t be included by default, since not many people use printers, and I’d rather not add bloat for everyone else. But don’t worry, they’re super easy to install through APT or a package manager! Thanks again for your input! Without you, there would be no Entropy!
