    AnduinOS

    AnduinOS

    AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution

    ...The project leans toward developer productivity: quick access to tools, reproducible configuration, and a unified place to evolve the environment. Because it is open source, users can inspect how the author wires services, handles packaging, or defines UI/UX conventions. It’s well suited for people who want to understand how to bootstrap and maintain a bespoke, code-driven desktop environment rather than relying on distro defaults. Over time it can serve as a living example of infrastructure-as-code principles applied to a personal OS setup.
