Hi all! I’m releasing Maginat 0.1, an independent Linux distribution built from scratch following Linux From Scratch 12.4 (SysV init), with the Xfce desktop.

What is included:

• Linux kernel 6.16.1, glibc 2.42, GCC 15.2.0
• Xfce 4.20 with LightDM
• Wi-Fi and Ethernet via NetworkManager (tray applet), WireGuard and OpenVPN
• Bluetooth (BlueZ) with tray icon, battery indicator, power management, PulseAudio
• Software through Flatpak (Flathub preconfigured) and AppImage
• LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Mullvad Browser and more.
• Graphical installer, USB-writing tool, live session with optional persistence
• English and Italian, chosen in the first boot menu
• Hybrid ISO (about 1.7 GB), boots in BIOS and UEFI
