What is KISS Linux?
KISS is an independent Linux® distribution with a focus on simplicity and the concept of "less is more". The distribution targets only the x86-64 architecture and the English language.
Overview
- Uses a plain-text package system which is language agnostic and parseable with basic UNIX utilities.
- Uses a package manager written in 500~ lines of POSIX sh (excluding blank lines and comments).
- Based on musl libc, busybox and the Linux kernel. -- All shell code is linted by and passes shellcheck (including each and every repository package).
- All packages are compiled from source by the package manager which automatically handles dependencies, patches, etc.
- Explicitly excludes the following software: dbus, systemd, polkit, gettext, intltool, pulseaudio, pam, wayland, logind, ConsoleKit2 and all Desktop Environments. See Philosophy.
- Rootless Xorg environment without any additional software.
- Repository signing through git and gnupg (based on signed commits and built into git itself).
