# A tiny GNU/Linux distribution
MatterLinux is a tiny [free/libre](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and
[open source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-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](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter).
## 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
- [x] Expanding `desktop` repo (100 packages)
