Details

MatterLinux is a tiny, independent, free/libre and open source GNU/Linux distribution for x86_64 (or amd64) systems. It has its own package management system and its own package repos. All source code for MatterLinux is licensed under GPLv3 and available on the MatterLinux Gitea.

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:

  • >>> Package system
  • >>> Website
  • >>> Official repos (base and desktop)
  • >>> Wiki/documentation
  • >>> First release
  • >>> Expanding desktop repo (100 packages)
  • >>> Expanding desktop repo (300 packages)
  • >>> Expanding the wiki
  • >>> Expanding desktop repo (500 packages)
  • >>> TUI/GUI installer
