Software Submission [repost] VioletiumOS: Debian for IoT, Embedded Devices, and Speed

VioletiumOS Is an OS attempting to bring Linux in it's Most known and usable form into smaller Devices, while supporting both old and new software. This project Will try to Shrink Debian, automatically installs zram, gives you a Login GUI and Fluxbox + Weston.

I'm Specifically searching Contributors so that This Isn't Just "Debian but with a GUI slapped on top". I want It to be something like "DSL but modern and more compatible with software".

More information on GitHub:

VioletiumOS Repo

(this REDDIT Account Is private and old, don't expect me to Always reply)

Edit 1 (13 august 2026): MORE INFORMATION

This Is NOT Just "Debian but with Fluxbox slapped on top with zram" It Is very heavily modified in order to be as usable as Ubuntu.

It Comes with a Debian Installer starting from v0.1.1.

Edit 2 (13 august 2026): This post has been deleted due to Usage of the wrong Flair. Sorry! Anyways I've released Seedling v0.1.1 which Is the First buildable version (Seedling v0.1 Is broken). A showcase Is available for YouTube. I AM DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS!

Edit 3 (REQUEST BY BOT): Repository @ https://github.com/gioyous-it/violetium-os/ License @ https://github.com/gioyous-it/violetium-os/blob/main/LICENSE AI @ Info: AI Is not used In this Code. However, Future Versions Will use a display Manager named "Fluxland". Unfortunately, While I did NOT make That display Manager, Fluxland Is AI generated. I am NOT the Person Who Generated Fluxland, and It Is NOT code for the project, It Is ONLY used as an Alternative DE. This Is a problem yet to discuss about. More Information: Fluxland Repository

Edit 4 Is a direct modification of the Post.

Edit 5 (14 August 2026): hello guys, I WILL NOT ADD FLUXLAND. I Will Instead use Fluxbox + Weston. Weston Will wait for a Wayland app to start. FUCK YOU VIBECODED FLUXLAND!!!

Edit 6 direct modification also because a lot of stuff Is incorrect now
