uwu-runix-101 | rune.ᚷ | rune.みんな

tl;dr

void linux fork. one true path. maximum minimal uwu

status: WIP

The Philosophy

traditional distros:
- X11 AND wayland
- pulseaudio AND pipewire
- gnome AND kde AND xfce AND ...
- 100 shells, 50 editors
- RESULT: bloat

runix:
- wayland
- pipewire
- uwu.ᛊ compositor
- fish
- RESULT: minimal, fast, coherent

every “or” is bloat. pick one. delete the rest.

The Stack

DISPLAY:    wayland only (no X11)
AUDIO:      pipewire only
COMPOSITOR: uwu.ᛊ (custom)
INIT:       runit
SHELL:      fish
BOOT:       systemd-boot
NETWORK:    iwd + dhcpcd
FILESYSTEM: btrfs

The Deletions

GONE:
- X11, xorg, all X apps
- gnome, kde, xfce, all DEs
- pulseaudio, jack
- networkmanager
- grub
- multi-user complexity
- 626+ packages already deleted

The Design

1 USER + PERSONAS:
- one human user
- persona system via XDG + cgroups
- instant switch (meta+1, meta+2, etc)
- no login screens
- no multi-seat

PHILOSOPHY:
- 0 choices at install
- 1 way to do everything
- everything works together
