From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm in the process of making a distro that combines the way SteamOS makes Arch Linux stable and user-friendly WITH the performance optimizations of CachyOS (pu-239.org)

As the title and the website say, I'm currently making a distro with the goal that you don't have to compromise between ease of use + safety and bleeding-edge + performance optimizations.

As I will likely be able to publish the 0.0.1 source code to the GitHub link and the ISO to the website sometime next week, I would like people to be aware of my project so I can have some feedback for further improvements when I release the first version. I have not posted this anywhere else yet, as I value the opinion of this community more than Reddit or whatever.

If you have any questions or any criticism, please voice it, I would love to hear it, good or bad, in the end I want to make a proper OS. (I'll go to bed now so expect replies to take a few hours from posting.)

I'm completely on your side, I have NEVER had less issues with an OS ever since running Arch and/or CachyOS, however issues could arise and that is enough for the usual Reddit dickhead to talk someone who's asking for their first distro out of using anything Arch based. I'm tired of hearing these fucking "no you can't recommend CachyOS, a new user should not touch Arch", "CachyOS will break three times within your first week of using it", "it has the AUR so you will contract HIV instantly by using it", I just can't hear it anymore which is why I want to provide people with an option that still has them on an Arch based distro but with added peace of mind and speed optimizations out of the box. You know, that's the thing, I personally find Arch easy and intuitive and don't get where people get the idea that it breaks all the time from, but that IS the perception however.
