lambdanil / astos Goto Github PK

I have just added astOS to neofetch.
It is waiting to be merged now.
You can view it now at https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/2184.
And you can try it by cloning my repository at https://github.com/Elecleus/neofetch, and then

sh ./neofetch --ascii_distro astOS

Hi there, I have a specific use-case which needs having BTRFS inside LVM2. I am wondering if ast supoorts LVM2+btrfs. Thank you!

Hi! I've recently come across this project and I love it. When I find some free time, I'll try to set it up and it might be a new os for my testing and messing around workstation.

Now the thing I can't really find much information about is how does astOS project compare to AshOS. I can see that you're the maintainer of astOS but also a contributor to AshOS and there is some similarity in the documentation. AshOS seems more generic since it should support other distros than Arch. What's recommended for use? Are there any plans for archiving astOS and focusing on AshOS?

First off, nice Project ⭐ ! I wanted an immutable Plasma Bigscreen OS for my living room setup and astOS is the only thing I found that works. RPMs of Bigscreen are all broken 😞 . BlendOS said Bigscreen conflicted with its base 😞.

I installed the Plasma DE and am trying to revoke the original user's sudo privilege and add a new admin user.

I can't get either to work. Even if I make the same change on a new snapshot and in the DE and then deploy the new snapshot the changes never seem to be fully applied. Is there a trick to this?

Hi !

I don't see any updates since more than one year, and I've also noticed that the main developer finally uses on his Desktop another immutable OS ( https://github.com/lambdanil/microos-guix ).

So, may be this project is abandoned ?

In all cases, could you tell us the impact for people that uses astOS if the project is abandoned, there is some risks or missing security updates ?

How do I get swapfile working in an astOS installation?

Would it be possible to make use of the official archinstall to conduct the installation process of ast? This would make ast concept even more modular. It would delegate the task of installation to archinstall which is getting more and more streamlined and hence would just focus on ast itself.
Right now, 3 arguments /dev/btrfs-partition /dev/sda and /dev/efi-partition are used.

Thanks!

Is it possible to turn a specific astOS snapshot into a regular Arch installation? Deleting all other snapshots and only keeping a specific snapshot as the root while also uninstalling ast from system????

Btrfs has an official library with python support. This should improve code stability and error handling compared to calling the btrfs cli tool form python.

Can you add support for EndeavourOS?
