I have never heard of "Snow Linux" before. The homepage is minimal:

https://snowlinux.org/

I submitted the Github page as a new story:

https://github.com/frostyard/snowdesktop

Snow Linux was a thing way back in the 90s: https://archive.org/details/snowlinux2.2

The company behind rebranded to SUE.

that repo is retired, now all the Frostyard atomic images build out of a single mkosi repo at https://github.com/frostyard/snosi. the website is https://frostyard.org - I'll take down the older snowlinux.org or redirect it. Thanks!

Holy cr4p that is a wall of text on the repo! :-o

Is that massive amount of bumf machine-generated?

the README is probably 50/50 hand written and LLM written. We haven't really done much to publicize the org yet, we were waiting for bootc to stabilize on Debian. Tomorrow is actually retirement day for the non-bootc installation paths so we may do some clean up in the future. Don't really have a burning need to become the next hot distro though. If atomic debian desktops and servers sound good we're here.

:-o

Gosh. OK then.
