Would anyone be interested in a suckless inspired distro that could compete with Omarchy?
I’ve been thinking about a distro that follows the suckless philosophy but is still comfortable for everyday desktop use.
The idea would be a small, secure base with inspiration from Alpine, Void and KISS Linux, plus Gentoo style control over the kernel and packages. OpenBSD could be an inspiration for security, though I know it is a separate operating system and not something to combine directly with Linux.
I’d keep dwm minimal, but include a capable, easy to use terminal. A barebones desktop makes sense to me, but making the terminal too barebones could make the whole system frustrating to use.
I’d want it to be simple by default, customizable for people who want to tinker, and approachable enough for more than just experienced Linux users. Maybe it could offer an alternative to Omarchy for people who want a polished desktop without as much included by default.
I’m not proposing that these projects merge. This could start as an independent distro, with input or contributions from anyone interested. Does this sound worthwhile? What would you want to see in a system like this?
