1. Purpose
This document specifies the functional requirements for Yino (a recursive acronym for "Yino Is Not Omarchy") an opinionated set of configuration files for a desktop operating system based on Debian Linux. It is exactly like Omarchy but uses Debian Linux as a stable base instead of Arch Linux.
2. Goals
- Produce a feature complete copy of Omarchy based on Debian Linux instead of Arch Linux
- Replace all Arch specific tooling with Debian compatible counterparts where necessary / required
- Remove anything that can be removed that has been added to Omarchy in order to deal with its possibly unstable, rolling release base of Arch Linux
- Just like Omarchy, produce an ISO image that can perform a complete offline installation of Yino
3. Architecture
This should match Omarchy's architecture (see Omarchy Analysis for a comprehensive reference)
- Debian Linux as a base
- Btrfs filesystem
- Full disk encryption
- Single user automatic sign in: encrypted disk unlock authenticates user, no further authentication is required except for unlocking the session and super user commands (sudo)
- Wayland only
- Latest Hyprland version as compositor and desktop environment
- Target architecture is amd64, reference hardware will be Framework 13 AMD Ryzen™ 7040 laptop
4. Design principles
- Version control (git) must be used
- Less is more, minimize dependencies, avoid pulling in extra dependencies, always talk through with owner first
- Keep it simple, KISS principle applies
- Keep a changelog in this functional specification document
5. Development environment
- QEMU should be used for testing and demo virtual machines
- Keep a cache of downloaded assets (e.g. Debian installation ISO) in this repository's
downloaddirectory
