Questions? Ask me :) -We're creating this distribution for our own personal use and fun, but -take pride in our craft. As of 14.08.22 it's running on 14 physical devices, -both `x86_64` and `aarch64`. - -At its core, it's a NixOS installation running our configuration. The UX -decisions and the way the project is structured are what make it -_PubSolarOS_: - -- Reproducibility is king, and the future is with declarative and functional - programming. Even if Nix does not turn out to be the end-all-be-all of - reproducible package management (Guix looks good), it has a plethora - of packages, a very active and helpful community, and very solid - software engineering practices. -- Because reproducibility is king, we're using nix flakes for locking flake - dependencies. [Digga](https://github.com/divnix/digga) is our flake - utility library, made by the wonderful people of the Divnix community. -- Physical devices are not shared anymore nowadays. Only seldomly will you - find shared devices that need more than one user account. For this - reason, only one user (excluding `root`) is assumed. -- Keyboard navigation wins where it matters; ergonomics, programmability, - efficiency, and speed. We use a tiling window manager (`sway`) and - prioritize cli-based solutions where sensible. The editor is `neovim` - configured to be just as opiniated as the operating system it is a part - of. For mailing, `neomutt` is the default, but we're more divided on - that part. -- We like new and shiny things, so we've moved to Wayland and pipewire. -- SICHERHEIT is written in capital letters at pub.solar, so we have first- - class disk-encryption support. Currently in the works is a paranoid - mode where the device can only hibernate (no more sleep or lockscreen) - so your data is locked any time you leave the device. -- Free software is better. If we can avoid it, nonfree software is avoided. - By default, `allowUnfree` is `false` so we don't ship non-free software - in a basic PubSolarOS ISO. However, nothing prevents you from using - as much non-free software as you like. -- Automation is better. The reproducibility of nix feels so much more - powerful once you're deploying your new configuration from your laptop - to all your other devices with one command. [We have an automated CI using drone](https://ci.pub.solar/pub-solar/os). -- Community is important. We just like working on this together, and it - feels really good to see our progress at the end of a - [hakken.irl](https://pub.solar/hakken) session. - -To get started, take a look at the quick start guide in our docs.
