A soothing, powerful and pragmatic Linux "distribution"
| README.md | ||
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? But not close to it
Debian installer instructions
Partition > Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM.
