Ditana is coming with ZFS, snapshots, BusyBox instead of GRUB, XFCE

I hope the developers of Ditana will not be hit by a bus.
It is ‘an Arch-based Linux distribution that bridges the gap between user-friendly systems and highly customizable environments. It aims to empower Linux enthusiasts with unprecedented control over their computing experience while maintaining a strong focus on security and performance. The project provides a flexible, text-based system installer with extensive customisation options, an Xfce desktop environment with pre-installed enhancements, a modular structure, pre-configured security features and kernel settings, and intelligent hardware and system optimisations for peak performance.’

I’ve been testing on real internal SSD and is ‘so far so good’.

I put KDE-Story under the name of Dracula in
/usr/share/themes. (The style seems to be hard wired for the time being.)

The default setup provides autosnapshots on ZFS or BTRFS which is not a big deal although
on EnOS the grub-btrfs works for me but not out of the box (‘Know your system’ )

Well too bad the installer bails out on my AMD based machine. Not surprising for a first release though :wink:

Are AI OS’s a thing now? Or is it just a buzzword?

Not for me… feels like old Windows.

Seems to be referring to some integrated llm located here

Trying Ditana right now on a spare ssd. I think the installer will scare alot of people away. Very impressive and different at the same time :+1: I used all the defaults. I plan to test a restore and see how well it works

Ok, installing in virtual box (even though I’m not really keen on virtual environments), so I can see what you all are seeing.

I installed alongside Plasma and Cinnamon as well. It has nothing to do with old Windows.
