🌟 LuminOS v1.0.0-rc1 (Release Candidate 1)
"Luminous speed, ghostly low RAM footprint (<280MB - 420MB), and Bubblewrap sandboxed Windows execution out of the box."
🚀 Key Highlights & Technical Innovations
1. 🍨 4 Official LuminOS Flavors
- 🍏 Glass Edition (Flagship): ~420 MB idle RAM, macOS Sonoma Glass Wayland UI, multi-touch touchpad gestures.
- ⚡ Lite Edition: < 280 MB idle RAM, ZRAM ZSTD 3.0x compression, sub-4s boot time. Resurrects 15-year-old PCs.
- 🎮 GameDeck Edition: ~500 MB idle RAM, Proton-Lumin GE + DXVK 2.4, MangoHud performance overlay, zero-latency BORE scheduler.
- 🏢 Workstation Edition: ~550 MB idle RAM, out-of-the-box Windows Office sandbox runner, KVM/QEMU virtualization, Docker container runtime.
2. 🛡️ Zero-Trust Security & Windows App Sandbox
- Bubblewrap Sandbox (
bwrap): Untrusted.exefiles run in an unprivileged container namespace (lumin-security --sandbox app.exe). - Kernel Hardening:
kptr_restrict=2,dmesg_restrict=1,unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1, Yama ptrace scope isolation. - Double-Click .EXE Handler: Configured MIME handler launches Windows binaries directly into the Proton-Lumin sandbox.
3. ⚡ BORE Kernel Scheduling & Power Management
- Custom Kernel (
linux-lumin 6.10.5): BORE & eBPFsched_extscx_lavdCPU scheduler. - Native C Battery Daemon (
lumin-powerd): Automatically enables PCIe ASPM deep C-states (C8/C10) on battery power.
