While +operating systems like Windows have an excessive amount of code designed to +cover a multitude of legacy edge cases - which often leaves it consuming far +more resources than necessary, difficult to configure and much more vulnerable +to viruses and other issues - my custom system is totally tailored to your +device's hardware. This means a significantly more stable, secure and fast +computing experience. + +- **Do I need to get a new computer?** + + In most cases, no! I can tailor an operating system to any existing device's +needs. + + The only devices that are not able to be updated right now are computers with +chipsets other than x86_64 (although this will change in the future).

The core of the +operating system is significantly more minimal and is assembled using a variety +of different independently tested parts. This means that the attack surface is +incredibly small - there is no way for viruses or pop-ups to appear simply +because they are not compatible with my systems. Even if you were to manually +download viruses and attempt to run them, you would not be able to get them to +work. Unless you were to explicity and manually open up a security hole in the +system, it remains immune to any external forces. It's that simple. + +- **Does it go out of support, like Windows 10 did?** + + This will absolutely never happen, ever. Because the system is based on +free (as in freedom) and open-source software, each part is independently +maintained and provided by a global network of volunteers and will continue to +receive updates as long as people are using it. Even if I were to die or go +bankrupt, your system would happily continue to update and maintain itself. My +custom operating system is like a tailored suit for your computer that dry +cleans itself. Even without internet, the system is very stable and will run for +a long, long time. + +- **Is it stable?** + + You can run a system for months without restarting it and it wouldn't have any +issues.

"Technical Roadmap") (date .

Although I really think tiling +window managers are the way to go, I understand that's not what most people +want. + +I will be designing most of my systems around Wayland instead of X. +Specifically, I'd like to focus on +[wlroots](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/) compositors for +reasons that are primarily related to compatibility. The follow compositors are +the ones I intend to explore and provide solid support for. + +Primary: +- [Sway](https://swaywm.org/) + - It's just good. It's what I daily drive. +- [Labwc](https://labwc.github.io/) + - The most "suckless" floating WM in my opinion. + - XML-based configuration that will work excellently with Guile Scheme. +- [Wayfire](https://wayfire.org/) + - Seems to be the "other" stable compositor that everyone uses. + - Maximalistic effects are very cool. + +Secondary: +- [Niri](https://yalter.github.io/niri/) + - I think this could be more approachable to Windows users, but that's just a + hunch. Seems like a solid blend between WM-style and floating-style + compositors. I like it, but I need to do more experimentation. +- [Hyprland](https://hypr.land/) + - The kiddos seem to like this one. Seems like Sway but with a different + ecosystem. + +The first order of business is to produce example systems that I can confidently +dogfood on my own machines. I am putting effort into organizing a very +lightweight "base" system style that allows for most customization to be done on +the home environment level. That way you could have several different users with +completely different configurations on the same machine. It also makes updates a +lot cleaner, only requiring a relog at the worst. + +I'll create more posts once I get something done for each. + +On the backend side, there are a few important things that I need to do. + +- Create a proper update service +- Setup a proper build farm with substitutes + - Substitutes are already available at `substitutes.monastech.xyz` but it's + limited to what I manually choose to build as of right now. + - I think setting up a build machine interface for incredibly low-end devices + is a good idea. +- Organize the aformentioned "base" system + - This really just means figuring out what is the best platform to build off + of. It's looking like it's going to be + [greetd](https://sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd/) with something similar to + [tuigreet](https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet) because I do not like the + idea of running another compositor solely for the login manager. However, I + understand that users will be users and they will probably want something + pretty like [QtGreet](https://gitlab.com/marcusbritanicus/QtGreet).
