Evo OS
Simple, powerful and cutting-edge based linux distribution.
Gentoo changed since 2007 we started using it. It's not flexible as before, in lot places Debian development is faster than Gentoo. Changes are stalled.
We decided to change things. Start something new. Evo OS development will be focused on latest interesting technologies and will evolve forever.
We consider Arch Linux as example for very well working community and we'll try reuse all good from that project, but keep Gentoo options to configure things as user wish.
Goals
- Configurable
- Developer friendly
- Performance optimalized
- Fast moving & tracking lastest upstream versions
- Cooperation with upstream developers
- you can easily cooperate on Evo OS development
Prefered technologies
- musl-libc http://www.musl-libc.org/
- systemd or other binary based init
- Wayland protocol instead of X server
- QT5 toolkit
- KDE Frameworks 5
- Enlightenment (for small environments)
System technology
- based on Gentoo
- simplified
We're seeking for
- graphics designer (logo)
- people interested in keeping interesting project ebuilded
- … also any help is welcome, improving wiki page, interesting ideas. We're open to anything new.
Actual status
- we experimenting with cloning portage to keep up on Gentoo-based development & keeping things automated
- preparing musl-based core & installation images
