Why rlxos ?

Since there are already a lot of distributions exist with their own specilities and purpose of existence. Similarly rlxos consist of some cool unqiue features, if they match your taste then rlxos is for you!

Overlay File System to secure root

Extensible Package Manager

Portable Applications

Developed completely from scratch

An Virtual Assistant

And Much more..

Overlay File System

Overlayfs is a union mount filesystem implementation for Linux. It combines multiple different underlying mount points into one, resulting in single directory structure that contains underlying files and sub-directories from all sources.

Instead of Installing (or Extracting) system files into disk, rlxos uses squash filesystem images for root filesystem and mount it at / on boot time.

  • It helps in securing the roots as users are not directly writing/modifying the system files

  • Can help in resetting the system, just need to delete the cache (upperdir)

  • Easy and safe atomic system updates + multiple version of system installed can exists simen

Extensible Package Manager

Rlxos comes with a very advanced and extensible package manager - appctl (pkgupd in future) who's functionalities can be extended by adding supported modules/plugins
Appctl is provided with 2 modules,

Recipe : module that override prepare method to generate installable packages from recipe files

RlxPkg: module that provide support for installation of rlxos packages
Portable Applications
