magnet-linux

A minimalist, decentralized linux distribution and package tree.

What is special about magnet-linux?

  • It is built from source, but has optional package caching (similar to nixos/guix).
  • It can be used from within other linux distributions without root or docker.
  • It can be used to create reproducible software environments (e.g. for reproducible experiments and software development).
  • It is by and for advanced users who appreciate minimalism.
  • Avoids single points of failure by using p2p networks (bit torrent) and distributed version control for hosting and distribution.

Who should consider using magnet-linux?

Nobody yet (unless you want to participate in the design process).

In the future it will be for:

  • Advanced linux users.
  • People who require reproducible and long lasting software environments.
  • People who want a more decentralized linux distribution for whatever reason.

Project principles

  • Keep it simple.
  • Empower the user.
