ReduxOS is an upcoming Linux distribution currently under development, with an anticipated release in the near future. It aims to provide users with a high degree of customization and choice, drawing inspiration from popular distributions such as Debian, Arch Linux, and Gentoo. ReduxOS caters to a diverse user base, including enterprises, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and Linux enthusiasts.

Overview[edit]

ReduxOS intends to offer users the freedom to tailor their operating system experience according to their preferences. It plans to provide flexibility during the installation process, allowing users to choose between using a graphical installer like Calamares or opting for a manual configuration approach akin to Gentoo Linux.

Planned Features[edit]

Customization: ReduxOS aims to empower users to customize every aspect of their operating system, from the choice of desktop environment to the selection of software packages.
Supported GUIs: ReduxOS plans to support a wide range of desktop environments and window managers, including Hyprland, Xfce, GNOME, KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt, Sway, and i3.
Package Management: The distribution plans to implement a package manager drawing inspiration from Gentoo's Portage and Arch Linux's Pacman, providing users with a rich set of options for managing software installations and updates.
Kernel Customization: ReduxOS intends to support kernel customization, allowing users to integrate their own kernel into the system, thus providing a high level of control over system performance and functionality.

History[edit]

ReduxOS was initiated by Atiksh Sharma in August 2023 as a Debian fork named Redian OS. Soon after, it gained a dedicated team of developers and contributors. Recognizing the potential to create a unique and independent Linux distribution, the team shifted its focus and changed its name to ReduxOS. Since then, ReduxOS has been evolving to become a flexible and customizable operating system solution.

Development Team[edit]

ReduxOS is led by Atiksh Sharma, who initiated the project in August 2023. The team includes:

Atiksh Sharma - Founder
Brian Anderson (Nairb) - Co-founder
Johannes Kamprad - Marketing Lead
Bogdan - Package Manager Maintainer
Myfer - Package Manager Maintainer

The team comprises individuals passionate about creating a flexible and customizable Linux distribution.

Release Model[edit]

ReduxOS aims to adopt a rolling release model, ensuring users have access to the latest software updates and security patches continually.

Reception[edit]

While still in development, ReduxOS has generated anticipation within the Linux community for its innovative approach to customization and user empowerment. It aims to attract a growing user base of enterprise users, cybersecurity professionals, and Linux enthusiasts seeking a flexible and customizable operating system solution.
