A resilient Debian GNU/Linux derivative for indestructible installations
resilient
A Debian GNU/Linux (Buster) derivative with a unique partitioning scheme crafted for maximizing the strength against filesystem corruption: the ISO9660 system partition is read-only by design at filesystem-level.
ductile
Persistence partition contains only the diffs from the stock installation; system updates and your data lay there – you can do complete system backups/snapshots by just tar-ring the files contained within that partition.
secure
Persistence partition can be encrypted with one click during the installation.
friendly
Resilient Linux has been thought and tuned for desktop installations only.
In a couple of minutes or less, the Installer will easily install the operating system into your PC’s hard drive. Resilient Linux requires at least 4GB of RAM memory.
You can optionally set a password for encrypting the persistence partition (encryption process may not support old hardware).
You can test/use Resilient Linux in a virtualized environment as well, the same way you are used to do with any other operating system. VirtualBox is supported and tested. Give some video memory and enable the 3D acceleration on the hypervisor.
System user will be created upon the first boot with the GNOME Initial Setup Tool (name, region, i18n can be setup here).
Use sudo for super-cow powers.
Due to the system’s unique partitioning scheme, some programs may not work, for example Dropbox doesn’t, but the good news is that Dropbox Maestral does.
Resilient Linux and Resilient Linux Installer are free and open-source software, whose development is hosted on GitHub. Feel free to contribute to the projects.
