lainOS layer 02 development(arch Linux with OpenRC)

Hi everyone. It has been a while since I have posted here. I hope everyone is doing well. lainOS layer 01 has been stable for 7 months now, and lainOS layer 02 development seems to be going surisingly well. I posted a preview picture in here. I've developed an architecture and compatibility layer, written in C, called Protocol 7, which allows arch Linux based systems to be decoupled from systemd. R&D is mostly finished, with seemingly just some system wiring and polish left. Overall I'm pretty optimistic although there is still a lot of testing of the architecture to be done for edge cases. You can follow us with the following social links(I'm going to make a repost):

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.

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.

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.
