## Goals & Status
The project aims 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, nor it's package ecosystem.
Currently MatterLinux is under development, here is a rough roadmap if you want to
2023-12-09 18:36:37 +00:00
follow the development of the project:
- [+] Package system
- [+] Website
- [+] Official repos (`base` and `desktop`)
2023-12-22 20:07:33 +00:00
- [>] Wiki/documentation
- [>] First release
- [x] Expanding `desktop` repo (100 packages)
