Latest

Overview

This release marks the initial version of our simple GUI-based Linux distribution, developed to run on QEMU. This distribution leverages the Linux kernel, BusyBox for essential Unix utilities, and Nano-X for graphical capabilities. This lightweight and efficient distro provides a basic graphical user interface and can serve as a foundational base for further customization and development.

Key Features

  • Linux Kernel 6.9.4: This release includes the latest stable Linux kernel, providing robust performance and compatibility with modern hardware.
  • BusyBox 1.36.1: Integrated BusyBox, which offers a suite of Unix utilities in a single executable, ensuring a minimal and efficient command-line environment.
  • Nano-X/MicroWindows: Implemented Nano-X (MicroWindows), a small graphical windowing system, to provide basic graphical user interface capabilities.
  • Sample GUI Application: Included a sample graphical application (nirs-test-app) to demonstrate the capabilities of the Nano-X windowing system.

Known Issues

  • Limited GUI Capabilities: The current release includes basic GUI functionality. Further enhancements and additional applications are planned for future releases.
  • Hardware Compatibility: This version has been primarily tested in QEMU. Additional testing on various hardware configurations is recommended for broader compatibility.

Future Plans

  • Enhance GUI Features: Expand the graphical capabilities by adding more applications and improving the existing windowing system.
  • Broader Hardware Support: Test and optimize the distro for a wider range of hardware platforms.
  • Documentation: Provide detailed user and developer documentation to facilitate customization and extension of the distro.
