Evo OS

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.

• Configurable (little bit more than Gentoo)
• Developer friendly
• Performance optimalized (we care about speed)
• Fast moving & tracking lastest upstream versions (no downgrades, always latest versions)
• Cooperation with upstream developers (we try help with upstream development by improving things)
• you can easily cooperate on Evo OS development (simply ways to quickly contribute)

• latest upstream kernel (longterm stable & mainline)
• 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)

• based on Gentoo
• based on portage, slightly trimmed & simplified

• graphics designer (logo)
• people who wants maintain some interesting software
• … also any help is welcome, improving wiki page, interesting ideas. We're open to anything new.

• we experimenting with cloning portage to keep up on Gentoo-based development & keeping things automated
• preparing musl-based core & installation images

• join us on IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/evo, channel #evo and be patient
• bring ideas

• there is also idea, that sometimes could be made snapshot (based on Prefered technologies), tested & deployed on workstations/servers
• offering commercional support for this releases could eventually gain us some resources, to invest more time into development
