About ShedOS

ShedOS is a developer-first Linux distribution built on Arch. It ships a tuned Hyprland desktop, a working developer toolchain, and a rolling upgrade path that respects the files you've edited.

Why it exists

Most distributions choose between two tradeoffs: stable and opinionated, or rolling and DIY. The first pins you to old software; the second pins you to a hobby. ShedOS aims for the middle — current software, a working desktop on first boot, and one command to stay up to date.

What's in the box

• Hyprland on Wayland, with waybar, mako, walker, and the shedos-screensaver lock.
• Neovim (LazyVim), VS Code, and Zsh preconfigured.
• Language runtimes for Python, Node, Go, Rust, and C++.
• Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes tooling ready on first boot.
• BTRFS with snapshots; LUKS encryption optional at install time.
