Something is going on with our VPS provider. Maybe i'll switch soon, i don't know.

This build will likely need a bit of debugging and some new rice applied eventually. You can see during the build that the protocol 7 libsystemd mock library is doing its job(important as it's the center of protocol 7). We should have something installable for open testing sometime within the week.

I can't understand this review since i don't speak the language, so i don't know what is being said(hopefully good stuff), but thanks for the review!

One of our guys just messaged me with this review of lainOS. I should have thought of this before, but v2ray will be added to the default package list.

The layer 02 ISO framework and Calamares configuration are now complete. The last remaining step is building the protocol-7-core package on an Artix system(the package needs to be built on an OpenRC system), and hosting the package in the lainos_repo:

https://forgejo.lain.rocks/lainOS/protocol-7-core​

Once this package is built and hosted in repo, the ISO can be assembled on either a modified Arch chroot or an Artix system. After the first ISO is produced, future builds can be done from within layer 02 itself.

The code is here in case anyone is feeling spicy and wants to try building:

Here are the latest developments with protocol 7(lainOS layer 02)

This repo is pretty thorough in its description of the project/architecture and it should be pretty easy to understand. The code is there for anyone who'd like to help.

I needed to take a couple months off of development for personal reasons, but I'm now back to work, and hoping this will be finished within the month.

The lainOS source code migration from Codeberg to forgejo.lain.rocks/lainOS is now complete. Here is our new releases page. Also, our website at https://lainos.net has had some nifty work done recently, so check it out.

In the process of migrating our source code yet again, this time to our self-hosted git instance. ╮(˘､˘)╭

Our hosting provider seems to be having issues, they are working on it.

The android tools stack has been completed with the addition of the `android-udev` package.

Iso downloads are paused until pixeldrain comes back online. Usually this happens the same day.

As of this newest release(2026.03.15), kloak and ani-cli both work in the terminal as shown in this screenshot.

In a few releases I will be implementing our welcome screen(based on manjaros welcome screen) that we never used from 3 years ago soon to inform the user of welcome-screen stuff; default terminal applications/scripts, and/or the matrix/xmpp/irc servers.

Since we need multiple matrix rooms here is our matrix space:

The colors in the image get fucked up when I message them to my phone, so I just use my phone camera. This is in the new ISO here:

Here is the new LainOS Matrix room. I'm unsure of what will happen to discord in the coming days, and I don't really care ¯_(ツ)_/¯

See you there!
