"I love a good challenge, and it's been some time since I've found Linux to offer one. Then I ran into AerynOS. Also: 7 Linux distros you should avoid until you've mastered the command line To be fair, this Linux distribution isn't all that difficult; it just has an installer that doesn't exactly hold your hand. Once you complete the installation, you'll find yourself with a Linux distribution that's built from scratch, is fully atomic, and delivers a beautiful KDE Plasma desktop."
"An atomic distribution is one that manages software updates and installations by layering changes on top of a core system image, instead of modifying the system directly. This approach enhances stability and allows for easy rollback to previous states in the event of an update failure. In other words, an atomic distribution is all about ensuring that upgrades always succeed."
AerynOS is an independent, from-scratch Linux distribution that delivers a KDE Plasma desktop and is free to download and install. The distribution is atomic: software updates and installations are handled by layering changes on top of a core system image rather than modifying the system directly. Layering enables stability and easy rollback in case of update failures, increasing the likelihood that upgrades succeed. AerynOS aims to become immutable in the future, though it remains atomic for now. Immutable distributions mount the core operating system read-only to prevent changes and provide stronger security and reliable upgrades. AerynOS includes a unique installer and package manager, and its installer requires more user interaction than many modern point-and-click Linux installers.
