building solsticeos: a source-based distro

i'm making a distro called solsticeos.
gentoo is cool but overwhelming — 50+ use flags per package.
solsticeos is like "we picked good defaults, just use those."

the idea

  • tiny base system (kernel, libc, gcc, tools, x11)
  • everything else from community overlays
  • solpm add-overlay <url> and boom, new packages
  • no gatekeeping

overlays i imagine

  • solstice-gaming (proton, wine, games)
  • solstice-dev (rust, python, go)
  • solstice-multimedia (ffmpeg, blender)

whats happening

  • reading lfs book rn
  • starting development in june
  • aiming for alpha by september

already got

interested in testing or helping? lemme know.
