Gnuinos is a libre spin of Devuan GNU/Linux (a fork of Debian without systemd), allowing users to get control over their computer and ensuring Init Freedom.
Welcome to gnuinos, a ready-to-use operating system that aims to be entirely free as in freedom. This means that we reject all the nonfree stuff, whether software, manuals or documentation. Free software is about having control over the technology we use, empowering people against proprietary software and digital restrictions. When it comes to Free software, the term free relates to freedom as in free speech, and not to cost.
In its early stages gnuinos consisted of some customized live install images including the lightweight openbox window manager. However, the project has since evolved into a computing of almost general purpose: desktop, server, workstation, etc. Live CDs are built making use of the live-sdk, whereas netinstall/full CDs are built making use of the installer-iso. In all of its flavors, the system ships with the linux-libre kernel.
The mechanism for merging devuan and gnuinos mirrors is amprolla, an apt repository merger originally intended for use with the Devuan infrastructure, where merged packages get translated by some magic to a local mirror or redirected to a external one, as the case may be.
As in the devuan scenario, gnuinos package repositories are exclusive as well, that is to say they shouldn't be mixed with other apt-based repositories, including Devuan, Debian, Ubuntu and the like.
