+# NunOS: A soothing Linux distribution
+
+## Plan
+
+- [ ] Decide on base distro: debian
+  - Good governance model
+  - I trust it, I like it
+  - I dislike systemd, but Gentoo, OpenBSD, Devuan, etc. seem too niche
+- [ ] Decide on desktop environment: GNOME
+  - Good for shortsighted users
+  - Sensible array of default applications
+  - Doesn't try to imitate Windows
+  - I like the search with the "windows" key
+- [ ] Figure out a few basic things
+  - how to specify shortcuts in the command line: gsettings, or dconf-editor
+- [ ] Describe how to get debian step by step
+- [ ] Describe how to install debian step by step
+- [ ] Describe how to install the recommended software step by step.
+  - With .md.sh scripts
+  - Why imperatively? Because nixos has a much higher setup cost for me.
+- [ ] Recommended hardware
+
+## About 
+
+### Why a "distribution"
+
+- Not a proper distribution
+- A bit more effort than your typical set of dotfiles
+- Consider it more like a walkthrough
+- But the name "nunOS" (I'm Nuño Sempere) was too good to pass up
+- The next step might be to: make this a [Debian derivative](https://www.debian.org/derivatives/)? But not close to it
+
+### Debian installer instructions
+
+Partition > Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM.
+
+### Preparatory steps
+
+Give sudo permissions to your user:
+
+```
+su - --command "adduser $(whoami) sudo"
+newgrp sudo # avoids having to log out and log in again after adding your user to the sudo group
+sudo echo "Hello world!"
+```
