Nitrux uses OpenRC instead of systemd, unlike most mainstream distros. It also features the Liquorix kernel, described as “an enthusiast Linux kernel designed for uncompromised responsiveness in interactive systems, enabling low latency in A/V production, and reduced frame time deviations in games.”

New in this release is kboot, a utility to switch kernels on-the-fly without needing a reboot, and VMetal, which allows users to run Windows in parallel to Nitrux to provide users of access to Windows software.

    This seems really interesting. A bit odd that the os files are immutable. I wonder how stale nxos is. Something like discord has always been a pain for Linux. Multiple times I’ve seen it want to update but simply can’t and then your repo has an older version so you just can’t access discord for a day or more until the repo gets updated
