πŸ’œ so what's Matchbox tho?

Matchbox</purl> is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as:

  • handhelds 🫢
  • set-top boxes πŸ“Ί
  • kiosks πŸŽ€
  • and literally anything else for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited 😭
