GitHub - imsudiproy/plugOS: A minimal, plugin-based Linux operating system β€” install only what you need, nothing more.

🚧 plugOS β€” Under Construction 🚧

Status: Work in Progress
Expect breaking changes, missing features, and a few curious penguins 🐧


πŸ“Œ About

plugOS is a plugin-based Linux operating system designed for maximum modularity and minimalism.
Instead of installing a full-blown system with everything baked in, plugOS lets you start with a bare-minimum OS and add only the features or applications you need β€” as plugins.

Think of it as "Linux, à la carte" 🍽️

We’re currently building the foundation β€” things will be unstable, incomplete, and rapidly evolving.


πŸ›  Current Status

  • Project scaffolding set up
  • Core architecture draft
  • Plugin management system
  • Base OS image build
  • Plugin registry (store/repo)
  • Documentation and developer guides
  • First public beta release

🧩 Core Idea

plugOS starts minimal β€” just the kernel, a shell, and a package manager.
Then you build your perfect environment piece by piece:

plug install desktop:gnome
plug install browser:firefox
plug install devtools:python

No unnecessary services. No bundled software you don’t need. Just a clean, fast, and truly modular Linux experience.

βš™οΈ Getting Started

⚠️ plugOS is in early development and not ready for daily use yet.

Clone and explore locally:

git clone https://github.com/imsudiproy/plugOS.git
cd plugOS

⚠️ (Build and installation instructions will be added as the project evolves.)
