### What is?

It is a distro that removes the bloat from Ubuntu, replaces curl and wget with my swirl project, does not start up with a desktop (but you can start a XFCE session after logging in by the "startx" command after running "install-desktop.sh"), does NOT come with a browser, comes with an "add-flathub.sh" script, a "scrcpy.AppImage" binary, an "install-roblox-studio.sh" script, and replaces some of the bloated GNU coreutils with BusyBox utils. Also comes with flatpak.

### IMPORTANT NOTES
* It is recommended for typical desktop use that you ***uncheck*** the LVM-related partition options in the initial install.
2024-03-20 20:12:35 +00:00
* You ***WILL*** need a SD Card with SD card reader ***OR*** USB Drive
2024-03-20 20:37:08 +00:00
* Do ***NOT*** buy SD Cards or USB Drives online.
2024-04-06 11:26:01 +00:00
* This only comes with the bare necessities. You'll need to provide any extra packages, such as power-management apps, via apt and/or flatpak.
* Note that there is now a seperate install script (install-desktop.sh) for installing an XFCE4 desktop.
2024-04-06 11:52:50 +00:00
* Also note that, no matter which desktop environment you choose, there is a librewolf.AppImage as well as some scripts needed to play and develop in ROBLOX (although you need a spare Android phone to use the player.)
2024-03-20 20:11:12 +00:00
* There IS an "Additional Drivers" app to install NVIDIA drivers.
* Most WiFi drivers that are compatible with Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish should work by default ***after*** install.
2024-03-20 20:50:00 +00:00
* CURL is incompatible with most applications due to it being a shortcut to the better swirl project.
* Swirl's source can be found here: http://nodemixaholic.com:3002/nodemixaholic/swirl

Alright, buckle up! First things first, grab yourself a spare USB Drive that youre cool with reformatting trust me, its for a good cause. Next up, snag a copy of ***Ventoy*** (***[Download here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/ventoy/files/v1.0.97/ventoy-1.0.97-windows.zip/download)*** if your ***current*** OS is Windows or ***[download here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/ventoy/files/v1.0.97/ventoy-1.0.97-windows.zip/download)*** if you are on GNU/Linux.) and fire up ***Ventoy2Disk.*** ***Now, pay attention here: make sure you disable that pesky secure boot support in Ventoy2Disk. Then, its time to work some magic install Ventoy onto your USB and toss that ISO onto the VENTOY partition like a pro.***

Once thats all done, its time to shake things up. Reboot into your BIOS yeah, were diving deep now. ***Kick secure boot to the curb (I mean, who needs those Microsoft certs anyway, right?) and boot up from your USB. Choose that ISO youve been itching to install, but hold up dont forget to give LVM the ol goodbye.***
2024-03-20 19:55:16 +00:00
And just like that, youre off to the races! Trust me, its way easier than it sounds. Time to sit back, relax, and watch your system transform before your very eyes. You got this!
