aerynOS

Forward-looking, independent, atomic Linux distribution built with bespoke Rust tooling.

aerynOS

Welcome to the development home of aerynOS.

All of our tooling is being built from the ground up, predominately using Rust, with an aim to solve issues prevalent with Linux Distributions at the tooling level. By starting from the ground up, we are able to combine existing approaches with new solutions in novel ways to eventually deliver a technology stack that will make developing and maintaining a Linux distribution a much easier endeavor.

At present, aerynOS should be considered an in-development, Alpha quality, tech preview Linux distribution, which primarily exists to prove out our tooling approach. We are working as hard as we can towards adding and stabilizing the necessary features for reaching Beta status.

🛠 Tooling

Our os-tools:

  • moss - system state & package manager
  • boulder - moss-format build tool

Our infrastructure tooling:

  • summit - build controller and web dashboard
  • vessel - repo manager
  • avalanche - build worker middleware

Written in Rust and currently in active development to flesh out features and capabilities.

📚 Documentation

Dive into our documentation website to learn more about our philosophy, packaging guidelines and find other helpful information.

Contributors can submit PRs to documentation in the dotcom repository that, once approved, will reflect on our documentation website.

🧾 Recipes

aerynOS uses a mono-repo approach for our recipes repository. Our focus is squarely on maintaining our currently supported Desktop stacks + development tooling.

For the curious amongst you, you can head over to our recipes repository to find out more about the packages we currently offer and for guidance on how to package for aerynOS.
