Welcome to the TilingOS wiki!

This project is an OS build based on Debian. It doesn't modify any part of the original debian but installs lots of packages to create comfortable environment for everyday work and entertainment.

What's included:

This project contains automated install&update scripts to take away all the time-wasting setup, such as installing packages, writing initial configs and debugging. Base packages of this build are window manager, status bar and keyboard hotkey daemon. Together they create graphical environment "out of the box" - default configuration files will be installed. Of course you can freely edit this files but default ones ensures that there're no debugging needed to start X session for the first time. Also, installation includes some basic utils like htop (cli process manager), arandr (GUI tool for monitor configuration) and many others.

Here you can find some info about installation and configuration:

Some additional info:

Planned update method is something like "rolling updates" - when new version is ready, run sudo distro-update command in yout terminal to install it. Under the hood this will run installers for all the versions that are currently newer than yours. For example: if your version is v0.1 and latest is v0.3 with v0.2 in between, installing updates will run update_v0.2 first to upgrade your version from v0.1 to v0.2 and update_v0.3 to update it further to v0.3. Install script will perform the same thing - v0.1 will be installed and then updated step-by-step to the latest version. I'm going to create major versions too (first digit in the version number is major version) and any major update is something like a checkpoint - installer will be changed too. For example after version v1.0 installer will install not the v0.1, but v1.0 instead. It should help to prevent slow-down caused by huge amount of updates on installation.
