How the ISO path works

How do I write the ISO to a USB stick?

The dotfiles.

Do you already have a suitable Linux system? Use the desktop configuration and set up the required components yourself.

  • Configuration and Quickshell interface
  • Neutral defaults instead of private user files
  • Matching dependencies and native builds required

Which path is right for me?

If you are new and want the complete system, the ISO is the intended path. The dotfiles are for people who manage their existing system themselves and can set up dependencies.
