GNUSlashLinux (Lunar Echoes) is an innovative, Arch-based rolling-release distribution by Alien-Tec. It was specifically designed for developers and power users looking for a lightweight, keyboard-driven system without unnecessary bloat.
Instead of heavy desktop environments, GNUSlashLinux relies entirely on a high-performance Wayland stack. At its core is the unique, horizontally scrolling window manager niri WM, which works perfectly with the minimalist Noctalia Shell.
The distribution provides a no-compromise toolset for maximum efficiency right out of the box. It includes the GPU-accelerated Kitty terminal, the modern Helix text editor, and the asynchronous TUI file manager yazi. The system is rounded out by the privacy-focused Helium Browser (Ungoogled Chromium) and popular preconfigured color schemes such as Nord, Tokyo Night, and Gruvbox.
GNUSlashLinux combines the Unix philosophy with cutting-edge CLI tools.
