CalinixOS Linux Distribution ISO Profiles
GPL-3.0 License
CalinixOS is an Arch-based Linux Distribution made especially for THE Power User
This is the Github Repository for the CalinixOS ISO
We try to make our OS as optimized as we can for low end hardware. We believe in the statement "Your Hardware Can't Judge Your Ability"
We want your workflow to be as smooth and flawless as possible, hence we build our desktop focusing on keeping stuff keyboard-centric, fast and efficient enough to help you work quickly.
"If a diamond can't attract, It's worthless" While we also believe in powerful desktops, we equally believe in polished, beautiful frontend that make your eyes fall in love. If your desktop looks good, you work more efficiently and pleasantly.
Currently we need more developers! You can find the contributing guidelines at CONTRIBUTING.MD
Currently we are working on external applications, as we have nearly completed the iso part. Looking forward to Plymouth integration.

Donate to Calinix Project, motivating us to make our projects better
Gerome Matilla- His awesomewm configs in the glorious dotfiles have made up to being a base in CalinixOS for us to build our awesome configurations. It's literally one of the most beautiful ones we have seen and appreciate him for this great work.
Eznix- His ezarcher templates are the ones we use in Calinix, which smoothen our workflow and make stuff fast to develop. He has pretty awesome projects he has worked hard on. We love ezarcher and will continue to support it in future. He's been supportive and helpful from the very beginning and we highly appreciate what he has done for ezarcher.
Erik Dubois and other ArcoLinux Team- The ArcoLinux discord server and Erik and his team are awesome, can't explain their contribution in words. Anywhere doubt-solving, and they were ready, Arco is already an awesome project, and recently we added ArcoLinux Repositories to Calinix. Now Calinix is heavily based of Arco. Great people, great project, great distro. (I use Arco BTW)
Vinceliuice- His whitesur themes are used in Calinix, and we love the themes, it adds extra beauty to calinix and has a different level feeling. We appreciate him highly for making such beautiful themes.
