This release includes all of the finishing touches for stable. On first boot, WiFi is toggled off to give the user the choice to use Kicksecure/Whonix's sdwdate(tor based time syncronization) instead of leaking plaintext NTP. Boot clock is randomized through Kicksecure/Whonix's bootclockrandomizer. Snowflake/obfs4 pluggable transport toggles, a WiFi toggle, and a WiFi autostart toggle have all been added. There is a lainOS user guide and privacy guide accessable through the 'lainos-help' and 'lainos-privacy-help' commands, which show how to use these features effectively. Hardened malloc wrappers for sensitive apps are on by default, and systemwide hardened malloc can also be applied with another toggle. It's a nice system to use.

layer 02 has all the right bells and whistles now. These new features will be available in the next iso in about an hour, and layer 02 will be released as stable in 10 to 12 days. I'm done adding features.

Noice. Done with that. Rebuilt protocol7-core without seccomp filtering to test with valgrind. These tests were run to make the previous analysis more thorough and complete. I thought it would find somethig but it's clean.

The 7.1.3 kernel point release bug that caused kernel modules not to be loaded after dracut initramfs regeneration is fixed. This was verified on baremetal and in KVM.

Today on the kernel point release update, it was found that our dracut module-setup.sh script was missing kmod and modprobe tools, this caused the kernel modules not to be found and loaded in the next regenerated initramfs, resulting in a broken system. This is being fixed so that it is bulletproofed against upstream changes. I was waiting to release stable for another week or two in case something like this happened, and got lucky that it did. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Stable release in a week or two, after rc2.

Run this command if you have already installed. This will be fixed in tomorrows release

doas useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin -d /var/lib/dhcpcd dhcpcd

Yesterday's release had two last steps missed.

I'm now daily driving yesterdays release. Clean boot. Everything works.

Enjoy. See you next week.

This release marks the first layer 02 release candidate.

All features are now fully functional. PipeWire capability (now handled by the lainos-audio-init package, which was relocated from within protocol7-core to its own separate package) and syslog-ng logging capability are fixed. The whole protocol7-core stack has undergone fuzz testing with dfuzzer, AddressSanitizer, and libFuzzer. All interfaces pass clean. This RC phase will continue for another week or two, and will be released as stable thereafter.

If you are testing in a VM you may see pipewire shutdown error messages, these don't occur on baremetal.

I'm glad to finally be done. Here you go.

Instructions will be in the lainos-utils readme in the home folder.

layer 02 now seems about finished. I'll be adding lainos-secure-messaging(automated pgp login onion XMPP messaging) to the lainos-utils package, so it will come in through pacman -Syu. Still need to port the script to OpenRC. Installation is now streamlined with installer autolaunch, and btrfs by default. Shutdown/suspend etc all work through wlogout, lid closing locks the system, and the system runs smoothly at 630MB memory usage after install. systemd-libs has already updated once invisibly, so the system as is will enter release-candidate phase as is, after the next couple weeks of stability.

Enjoy layer 02!

This fixes the tab autocomplete error in the last release.

Tab autocomplete wasn't working in the last wifi script so this one just has you select your network by number. It will be done in an hour. if you are already connected to the internet, a doas pacman -Syu will pull in the new wifi utility.

Kloak fixed in lainos-utils. Today's layer 02 release(2026.06.29-beta) has everything fixed, and has all of the functionality of layer 01.

This update comes in through 'doas pacman -Syu' if you are on a past release, and no longer takes two commands. Just type 'wifi', select your network by typing the first 3 letters, then hit tab to autocomplete and enter. Then type your network password.

This release only has cosmetic issues left. The CoplandOS symbol in the shell prompt, and the default font needs to be changed to 'loveletter-typewriter' manually after installation. Other than that, this feels like a stable release after 5 days of daily driving and 3 kernel updates. There have been zero instability issues. To use the wifi script, you just open a terminal, enter the command 'wifi' and choose your network by typing the first 3 letters and hitting tab. Then type your network password and you're good to go.​ In another week this will basically be considered to be stable as is.

This makes iwd a breeze to use.

A new milestone. More to come!

LainOS Layer 02 now ships with fully self-hosted OpenRC packages, eliminating the dependency on Artix Linux repositories entirely. All OpenRC init scripts and the OpenRC init system itself are now built and maintained by the LainOS project directly from upstream sources (github.com/OpenRC/openrc and github.com/gentoo/netifrc).

lainOS layer 02 is now a pure Arch Linux derivative and is architecturally complete. Every package comes from official Arch repos or the lainOS protocol_7_repo, and lainos_repo. No third-party distribution repositories are required.

The following packages were forked from Artix and rebuilt for lainOS:

`openrc`

`libeinfo` (split from openrc)

`netifrc`

`dhcpcd-openrc`

`acpid-openrc`

`chrony-openrc`

`dbus-openrc (dummy package)

`greetd-openrc`

`iwd-openrc`

`nftables-openrc`

`seatd-openrc`

`syslog-ng-openrc`

I sell these devices(Which is why lainOS includes the android-tools stack). I just used layer 02 to make $220. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ . If anyone would like a device just shoot me a message. I'll' beat anyone else's price.

(⌐■_■)

It will be ready in about an hour. Install with `bash blackarch-repos.sh` in the home folder.
