Null Linux is a Linux distribution that aims to be the Linux distribution with the lowest ram consumption that can still run a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Null Linux attempts to accomplish the goal of fitting a functional GUI within 32 Megabytes of memory, by using extremely small and hand-made software made by the Null Linux Project Contributors.

Null Linux is a natural successor of TinyCore Linux.

Some pieces of software Null Linux attempts to modify (under correct licensing) or create to have the lowest memory allocations and usage possible:

Several Patches to the Linux Kernel
Fork of TWM
Modified Musl Libc
A built from scratch, POSIX Compliant Coreutils implementation
A fork and stripped down version of DASH Shell
A hand-rolled DRM wrapper library.
Stripped Down version of the runit init/PID1
