Here’s what I’m going to cover in this blog post: In this blog post, I will walk you through the journey I took to build my own Linux distribution called TOS.īefore we get started, let’s sketch the landscape. You can even decide to make a new product based on your specific requirements. There’s a lot you can do when it comes to open-source software thanks to its in-built flexibility, scalability, and adaptability. We also call him(or her) Archion as a tribute to Arch GNU/Linux the Operating System that TOS is build on top of.This article was written by Tom Meyers, a DevOps engineer at iDalko. We also detect things like ssd trim support to extend the live of your ssd’s and support amd-ucode and intel-ucode for near instant zero day cpu bug fixes.Īll other default features compare to the default settings of Arch Linux with a boost of the tos configuration.

Tlp is installed by default to consume less energy the normal linux installations. We also install firefox-developer-edition and visual-studio-code-insiders to make your browsing and editing more pleasant. The default user shell is zsh combined with oh-my-zsh for a better user experience. TOS uses the awesome window manager by default combined with sddm as the display manager. The drawback is that you need to update frequently (you can still choose when) and that there is a small change something breaks Default applications/features This means you will always have the latest versions of you software. These types of operating systems get updates very fast.

This operating system is designed to be Rolling Release It supports most hardware and can run on low end systems while still retaining all functionality. TOS GNU/Linux is an operating system designed to be lightweight yet modern. The TOS repo’s follow Arch very strictly while Manjaro does not. The project is very similar to Manjaro however they solve this problem a bit different. TOS aims to provide all benefits of arch but with next to no time spent preparing everything. Installing arch always took a lot of time.Īfter you installed it and had all software installed you spend an entire day of work.

The idea has been created because of one main reason. TOS is an operating system developed by Tom Meyers
