# Euri Linux — Horizon
|
|
|
|
every distro starts somewhere. most start by forking someone else.
|
|
|
|
we did that too. Artix gave us a foundation. Calamares gave us an installer. it was enough to get started.
|
|
|
|
but "enough to get started" isn't "enough to stay."

**Horizon is what comes next.**
|
|
|
|
a Linux distribution built from the ground up. not forked. not remixed. *built.*
|
|
|
|
from a bootstrap toolchain to a package repository, every piece is ours. musl. LLVM. XBPS. dinit. a kernel compiled from source and a set of packages we wrote the build recipes for. an ISO framework designed the way we think it should work.
|
|
|
|
this is not a rebrand. this is not a respin. this is us, building what we actually want to exist.

### what happens to the current Euri Linux?
|
|
|
|
it doesn't die. it stops growing. maintenance mode — security fixes, critical patches, nothing more. the Artix base served us well, but we're not building on someone else's foundation anymore.
|
|
|
|
Calamares? it's coming with us. some things are worth keeping.

### where are we?
|
|
|
|
nowhere yet. this branch is empty on purpose.
|
|
|
|
the plan looks something like this:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] bootstrap a cross-compilation toolchain from source
|
|
- [ ] build a base system (musl, coreutils, kernel)
|
|
- [ ] integrate XBPS package management
|
|
- [ ] create our own package build infrastructure
|
|
- [ ] design and build the ISO framework
|
|
- [ ] port Calamares and the installer experience
|
|
- [ ] ship it
|
|
|
|
we have no timeline. we have no guarantee this works. we have a 15-year-old with a NAS, a GPG key, and a stubbornness problem.
|
|
|
|
that's probably enough.
