New layer 02 iso with new wifi utility building

Tab autocomplete wasn't working in the last wifi script so this one just has you select your network by number. It will be done in an hour. if you are already connected to the internet, a doas pacman -Syu will pull in the new wifi utility.

Kloak fixed in lainos-utils

Kloak fixed in lainos-utils. Today's layer 02 release(2026.06.29-beta) has everything fixed, and has all of the functionality of layer 01.

Improved wifi script in lainos-utils

This update comes in through 'doas pacman -Syu' if you are on a past release, and no longer takes two commands. Just type 'wifi', select your network by typing the first 3 letters, then hit tab to autocomplete and enter. Then type your network password.

lainOS is now architecturally complete. Artix repos eliminated from system

LainOS Layer 02 now ships with fully self-hosted OpenRC packages, eliminating the dependency on Artix Linux repositories entirely. All OpenRC init scripts and the OpenRC init system itself are now built and maintained by the LainOS project directly from upstream sources (github.com/OpenRC/openrc and github.com/gentoo/netifrc).

lainOS layer 02 is now a pure Arch Linux derivative and is architecturally complete. Every package comes from official Arch repos or the lainOS protocol_7_repo, and lainos_repo. No third-party distribution repositories are required.

The following packages were forked from Artix and rebuilt for lainOS:

`openrc`

`libeinfo` (split from openrc)

`netifrc`

`dhcpcd-openrc`

`acpid-openrc`

`chrony-openrc`

`dbus-openrc (dummy package)

`greetd-openrc`

`iwd-openrc`

`nftables-openrc`

`seatd-openrc`

`syslog-ng-openrc`

layer 02 GrapheneOS flashing

I sell these devices(Which is why lainOS includes the android-tools stack). I just used layer 02 to make $220. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ . If anyone would like a device just shoot me a message. I'll' beat anyone else's price.

Steam/Proton run flawlessly on lainOS layer 02

steam is is essentially the compatibility benchmark for lainOS layer 02, and this test shows that the Protocol 7 architecture is doing its job correctly. It has handled everything i've thrown at it without hiccups. So steam thinks its running on top of systemd right now, little does it know that I've actually pulled a clever ruse; Its running on OpenRC. (⌒_⌒;)

No special adjustments, just `doas pacman -S steam`, and you're rolling. If you don't know why this is important, it's because lainOS layer 02 is a systemd-free Arch Linux derivitive running OpenRC.I'll consider this a win.

Protocol-7/project-status.md at main - lainOS/Protocol-7

The Layer 02 system is solid. ISO builds, Calamares installs, and clean boots on both UEFI and BIOS; both confirmed in KVM and on bare metal. The remaining issues are cosmetic: branding strings in OpenRC (requires forking the package), and the nerd font CoplandOS glyph from the Layer 01 shell prompt (just needs nerd-font-symbols in the Alacritty config).

Right now the ISO carries Layer 01's full package set as a compatibility test harness. Everything seems to work, and the package list will eventually be trimmed to a more minimal base.

Protocol 7 core was updated to v5.5.2 earlier today to give `lainos-dbus-bridge` an OpenRC-trackable PID. Layer 02 is now my daily driver, and a couple other people's too.

The Artix repos, which we've been using for convenience, will be phased out as soon as I rebuild the OpenRC packages we're pulling from them. Those will be hosted in the protocol_7_repo pacman repo on GitLab. Layer 02 will be considered complete at that point.

You can check the project status at the included link.

Layer 02 Baremetal Test Completed: Running on Baremetal(libreboot)

This was a lot of fun(kinda). At first the installed system only got to grub and kernel panicked after. So I had to use a Layer 02 bootable USB to mount the installed system to poke around the initramfs ​for probably half an hour. The root cause for the kernel panic was that dracut named the initramfs wrong, so grub-mkconfig couldn't recognize it, meaning the system couldn't boot because it thought it had no initramfs. Now all I have to do is rename the output of the Calamares dracut module in the lainOS calamares config package, and all should be good. UEFI systems still need to be tested after this fix. Stay tuned!

This is a trip.

layer 02 works on SATA SSDs/HDDs, need to fix nvme support in calamares/dracut

Confirmed baremetal install working on SATA drives. I'll need a few days to fix nvme support(apparently the dracut dev removed nvme support in newer versions, which is why I had to add my own modules, but I'll look at a previous version of dracut and extract/drop in or copy the strategy used for those modules.) ​I need a rest. This is going to suck without two machines, but at least I have two nvme drives/slots. While I rest, I'll perfect the TUI greet rice​, sway config, and any other loose ends from the sway session.

The next layer 02 release will work fine. Stay tuned.

Layer 02 Archiso Build Test Passed

It builds copies of itself with archiso just fine as predicted. VM storage was too small to fit the build but it works fine.

Layer 02 Baremetal Testing(Need Testers)

Go here to baremetal test lainOS layer 02, be sure to use 'doas' instead of 'sudo'(or keep reading the post): https://forgejo.lain.rocks/lainOS/lainOS-layer-02/releases

Shutdown Command: doas shutdown now

There is another iso to test which might or might not work below, the one at the forgejo link should absolutely work based on available structural analysis.​

The ISOs at this included link boot, install, and run fine in KVM. One of them should absolutely work, and needs to be tested on a single nvme drive baremetal system(if I test it i have to overwrite my build machine). After installation and reboot, please report here with your findings. It should reboot to the tuigreet display manager.

When you login to the live session with liveuser and no password, it will take 10 or 20 seconds to hit the desktop(just like the layer 01 live session).

Once you boot the ISO, Press super+spacebar to pull up the wofi menu, type 'install', then press enter to start the calamares installer.

There are two ISOs here, the one that says 'THIS-SHOULD-WORK' is the one that should work.
