As the title and the website say, I’m currently making a distro with the goal that you don’t have to compromise between ease of use + safety and bleeding-edge + performance optimizations.
As I will likely be able to publish the 0.0.1 source code to the GitHub link and the ISO to the website sometime next week, I would like people to be aware of my project so I can have some feedback for further improvements when I release the first version. I have not posted this anywhere else yet, as I value the opinion of this community more than Reddit or whatever.
If you have any questions or any criticism, please voice it, I would love to hear it, good or bad, in the end I want to make a proper OS. (I’ll go to bed now so expect replies to take a few hours from posting.)
Why github and not https://codeberg.org/?
Seconding that. I’ve just read through the website. Got interested. Then my eyes went to the top panel again finally, I’ve read “GitHub”, and my thoughts are “Huh? But this mismatches the rest of the page, especially with the AI stance and some push for simplicity combined with competence.”. Went back here to write about it.
/me a ~10 year old ArchLinux user (using Arch for this long, my Earth age nobody cares about including me anyway). I’m thinking if I wanna actually try this for real. I currently have manually written packages that define the OS dependencies and configuration, and I don’t like the mutability of everything, the default update handling of no-longer-dependencies, the
.pacnew… I still like and appreciate Arch obviously, but the pain points connect.I took your suggestion to heart and decided to say fuck it and move my whole GitHub over to Codeberg. The non-profit nature, being hosted in Germany where I’m also from and ditching the last Microslop service I have make this something I should have done sooner. The only thing left is the repo for the website itself, I’m gonna set up the actions to automatically sync it with Hetzner tomorrow, I’m done for today!
Ah, and please add the stock
-Suyprocess to the pain points. It alters the local database even when downloads haven’t fully finished yet (as it is out-of-the-box at least), so if downloads fail mid-ways you have to remember to not dare installing any particular package before a full upgrade still. If you forget, you’re toast.Man, good question, I’m still torn about this. Initially I was forced to use GitHub specifically from my university, now it kind of stuck. I haven’t pushed much yet anyway so I might even make the switch.
Well, you could use Github’s free (as in beer) infrastructure to host artifacts, which means they’ll have to pay (as a company) instead of codeberg (as a non-profit). The issues and development can be hosted on codeberg. Kind of like how the Linux Kernel does it, Github only being a mirror, not an endorsement.

Hmm, I will definitely take your suggestion to heart. For now I’ll focus on actually getting the first ISO ready to be rolled out, after that I’ll take a deeper look into it, thank you!
