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.

Hey all, Not long ago I shared my Artix Linux installer. I wanted to take it a little bit further (And learn some more Rust along the way), and make a companion site to make setting up the script settings even easier when wanting to run the installer - so here it is. Introducing the Lazy Web

This was developed using Rust, with Actix for the backend and egui + wasm for the frontend.

I had a few considerations when developing this, I wanted the encryption to occur clientside in the frontend in order to ensure your encryption password never makes it to the server. But also I wanted the decryption process to occur when the script downloads the settings. I also wanted the identifier that you use to connect and download the settings to be short and unique.

The website and the script are both still a work in progress, and i'm open to suggestions/feedback.

That's a great idea, love that you included encryption support and the limine bootloader

Definitely found some issues with it today - sorry if it didnt really work for you. Seems like I missed some stuff with enabling the repositories etc. Especially if you tried the gaming bundle - still more work to be done there.
