Since I was I child my main passion has been to make computers work the best I could.
25 years later, after 4 years of intense work, I have put all that knowledge into code and made a new distro!
My goal is to solve fundamental problems that current distros have, and make one that is nice overall. One that could actually turn libre software a convenient standard for most people.
It’s an extremely simple to use distro, minimalist. But most importantly in a way that allows great configurability, and flexibility to develop it quickly.
This flexibility makes it easy to fix bugs and improve things with no hassle.
I could give all kinds of details on how it is implemented, but I believe it’s just better to try it and see that it actually works nicely.
The important point I want to make is this: many things about the distro are quite counterintuitive, but most likely they are chosen like that after plenty of thinking. Nevertheless any feedback is highly appreciated.
Since the amount of improvements is vast, I will give just an example: quality.
With the components I have developed, all best quality practices are buried in the code itself, and the code will detect all kinds of abnormal situations and recover from them automatically. In the worst case clearly pointing out where errors happen.
The idea is not for novice users to fix most things, but the software to be so robust and self aware that it can self-heal from most abnormal situations.
In Zenned a bug that may prevent a computer from booting may get fixed automatically just by keeping the computer switched on. For example pacman is self contained, and can perform automatic upgrades while any of the other packages are broken.
And this is not only true for the packages in the system, but also for the packages in the repository.
If you ask how this is implemented in more detail, we will reach a cosmos which I doubt people will grasp without having seen the actual result of it.
So I prefer to keep the explanation family friendly.
I mean with no view of the code and lets say good but non descriptive words, It cant really be trusted. As it is i feel its just a themed version of kde with manjoros arch pkg manager. I could go on about that but, With 0 technical descriptions anywhere. Its the “Trust me” argument and I just can recommend that.
For somebody who wants to make it easy to use and to simplify things, you really make it difficult to even get the iso file. What’s the deal with the order info I get in my mail, why do I even have to give you my mail address?
No, if you want to be taken seriously, you really have to change a lot on your website so it is easy for people to start using your distro.
[EDIT] Just tried it in a virtual machine, it didn’t even boot.
The email requirement is put there by ko-fi.com itself, and it can’t legally be used for anything else but to provide the download.
I have tried the ISO several times in both VirtualBox and GNOME boxes, and it works. Probably your software is misconfigured, in the case of VirtualBox you need to have also installed the proper kernel module.
this distro seems familiar (Oh, I remember that I saw it in reddit!)
Hope your projects gets more recognition and contributes in some way to Linux and FLOSS!
This entire project smells of vibe-coded LLM slop (especially the website, it uses the kind of hype-y language LLMs tend to use with about as much substance)
