rlxos GNU/Linux

(rlxos, pronounced as "R E L A X OS" or "R L X OS") is an independent effort to build a Safe, Secure, and Beginner-friendly distribution of GNU/Linux for users around the globe.

rlxos is available in 2 variants, each with 3 channels.

Variants

The variation in the working and management of the core components of rlxos defines its different variants.

1. Secure: An Immutable variant of rlxos that uses libostree to manage and update the core of rlxos. The entire core is treated like a git repository, updating only the files changed during different releases. Please note that in immutable distributions, you cannot change the core components.

2. Unlocked: A new variant of rlxos that operates and behaves like a traditional Linux distribution, using pkgupd as a package manager. PKGUPD allows users to quickly install and update core components. Please note that the unlocked variant, like any traditional distribution, is not specifically secured but provides users more control over the components.
