joborun linux
Like Arch built from ground up with runit
Arch as it was meant to be, simple, fast, secure, cutting edge - without the systemd labyrinth to choke it Utilizing runit (default) init and service supervision - alternatives offered Abiding to Arch goals and principles more than Arch-Linux itself Build from source in the complete absence of systemd and libraries using eudev, consolekit2, seatd, libudev-zero and other alternatives. Maintaining as much compatibility to pacman/Arch-Linux based packages as possible, so you have a wide variety of software to choose from (Arch, AUR, Obarun etc.) Graphic environment support for X11 OpenBox and JWM and in wayland labwc the true Openbox equivalent (see screenshot) For veteran sys-admins who appreciate building from source in as lean an environment as possible! Equally friendly to students of the art of building from source, and a great base to move on and contribute to FOSS -

RebeccaBlackOS
Fan Made RebeccaBlackOS. VT-less Linux With Wayland.
I got the idea to name a Linux distribution after my favorite celebrity after I saw some earlier Linux distributions named after celebrities, and also this KDE blog post. http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2011/05/02/splash-screens-and-qml/ And then I thought, she deserves the free promo too. This is amongst the first live distributions to provide a Wayland server. VTs are disabled in the kernel. While 32 bit and 64 bit x86 ISOs used to be provided in each build, the latest builds are 64 bit only due to QtWebEngine refusing to build in 32 bit chroots. (It does NOT have her copyrighted music, or photos on the ISO. You have to buy her music legally on iTunes (or Amazon, etc))) The build scripts in the SVN is available for you to modify and build your own version of this project. This distribution is 3RD PARTY fan made. Yes. I am a fan of Rebecca Black. The latest ISO now has a login manager for Wayland, and now it has removed X from the startup path of the system. -
