Live iso
Install script is still WIP
Welcome to ChainOS!
This is my spin on an arch distro.
It is tailored a lot to my personal needs, so I don't reccomend to use the ISO you find in this repo, but to build it yourself, by modifing everything as needed.
Usage:
The build is based on releng and build based on archiso , see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archiso#Installation
Dependencies:
archiso
There are multiple files, where you can specify the installed packages, separated in categories:
- ./packages/audio.pkgs
- ./packages/aur.manual
- ./packages/de.pkgs
- ./packages/fonts.pkgs
- ./packages/garuda.pkgs
- ./packages/libraries.pkgs
- ./packages/lowlevelutils.pkgs
- ./packages/main.pkgs
- ./packages/pentest.pkgs
- ./packages/pip.manual
- ./packages/programs.pkgs
- ./packages/python.pkgs
- ./packages/repos.pkgs
- ./packages/virutalisation.pkgs
Onse you chose your packages, execute:
cat ./packages/*.pkgs > packages.x86_64
Everything you put under airootfs/ will be copied in to the Filesystem of the image.
The userconfiguration resides in airootfs/etc/skel/
To prepare for building just exeucte the setup.sh script
To build run
sudo mkarchiso -v -o ~/ ./
You will find the iso in your homedir
to test it with quemu:
run_archiso -u -i ~/
Once in the liveenvironment you can call install-chainos to start the installation process.
CAREFUL
Since this repo is tailored exactly to my needs, the script does just ask a few questions, it does NOT ask for confirmation!!! It will completly wipe the Harddrive. Read it before executing!!!
Basic systeminfotmation:
- KR: linux-zen
- OS: Archlinux
- BL: systemd-boot
- DM: sddm
- WM: qtile
- BR: qutebrowser
- TE: Kitty
- CS: Catppuccin
- PG: See files mentioned above
Tips and Tricks
All the config files are in ~/.config
If you have questions about the "empty" homedir just look a the symlinks in the homedir and read ~/.config/bash/bash_exports
Some useful scripts can be found under ~/.local/bin
The two you will need for sure are:
get-wp.sh which clones some wallpapers into ~/.data/Pictures/Wallpapers/images
get-coc.sh which clones the coc config for nvim into ~/.config/coc
There are also some user systemd units which can be found under ~/.local/share/systemd/user

A lot of usefule packages come from the garuda and chaotic-aur repo https://garudalinux.org/
