nenuzhnix

the most useless linux distro

what makes it special

nenuzhnix is one of a kind because of the very specific set of software it is built of/with

unlike most linux distros nenuzhnix is built of "unpopular" software

the most special thing about nenuzhnix is it's llvm-based toolchain called ngtc

how to try it the easy way

• git clone https://github.com/tpimh/nenuzhnix-build && cd nenuzhnix-build && ./install_nenuzhnix.sh

what it has now

• console
• interactive shell
• package manager (opkg)
• web browser (thanks, protonesso!)

what it doesn't have at the moment

• most of the tools you might need
• the kernel (so it's not yet a proper distro)

what it will have in the future

• linux kernel (milestone 0.1)
• graphical interface (milestone 1.0)

what it will never have

• any of poettering's bloatware in base system (this means no systemd, yay!)
• xorg or any other xserver (wayland ftw!)
• scripts written not in posix shell in base system and their interpreters
• any code from gnu project (this makes this projects a pain)
