A tiny GNU/Linux distribution

MatterLinux is a tiny, independent, free/libre and open source GNU/Linux distribution for 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 Git Server.

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 follow the development of the project:

  • >>> 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
