Hyggshi-OS

Hyggshi OS is a custom Debian-based Linux distribution built from Debian Trixie: lightweight, stable and fully customizable. It ships with Cinnamon and XFCE editions, a custom Calamares-based installer, and first-party tools such as Nexfetch (fast system info) and NexCode IDE.

Following a "research first, ship later" philosophy, most components, from theming and desktop tweaks to kernel tuning profiles (Desktop, Server, Lite, Development), are built and tuned from scratch. It targets users who want Debian without the bloat, from 1GB-RAM machines to full workstations.
