# 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
  - Escape hatch
  - Xmonad too hardcore
- [ ] 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

userland distribution

### Debian installer instructions

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