# NunOS: A soothing Linux distribution

Note: still very much a work in progress!

## Plan

- [x] 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
- [x] Decide on desktop environment: xfce.
- [ ] 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
- [ ] Potentially build on top of this to SentinelOS
- [ ] Install way more software

Previously done for GNOME
- [x] Figure out how to specify shortcuts in the command line: gsettings, or dconf-editor


## 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

userland distribution

### Debian installer instructions

Partition > Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM.

## How to get this distribution

```
wget https://git.nunosempere.com/open.source/nunOS/raw/branch/master/1-bootstrap.sh
source bootstrap.sh
```

## Notes to self

- Doing this step by step and testing in between is too annoying. Better to imperatively define it and then test it at the end.
