## Details
MatterLinux is a tiny, independent, [free/libre](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and
[open source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) GNU/Linux distribution
for `x86_64` (or `amd64`) systems. It has its own package management system and its own package pools.
All source code for MatterLinux is licensed under GPLv3 and available on the
[MatterLinux Gitea](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter).

## Goals & Status
The ultimate goal is to create a tiny and simple, yet still usable GNU/Linux system
from the scratch. So the project is not based on any other distribution.

As of now, MatterLinux is under development and it's looking for new developers and
contributors. If you are interested you can follow the development of the project over on Gitea,
here is a rough roadmap:
