No pictures of it anywhere, the github is a ghost-town (and their profile was created 3 days ago), and absolutely zero information at all for what this does that a default Arch install doesn't.

Honestly, even this post reads like it is AI generated. Images on the website look straight out of Midjourney. Lemmy instance popped up looks like 1 day ago and is filled with likely AI posts... I would not be surprised if 100% of this is all just outputs from some LLM, the OP's name included. Like someone's "agent" is just running amok.

What is your policy on AI?

basically, don't use this.

How would you compare fang to other arch and KDE based distros? Namely but not limited to EndeavourOS, CachyOS and Garuda.

What is the goal of your distro? I looked through the link and it says a lot of marketing fluff but nearly no details on why someone would want to use this vs Arch or Cachy or whatever other distro they already use..

Just another random person's dotfiles?

Not to be antagonistic, but something that would help someone want to try your distro over the many other arch based distros, would be to highlight what problem you intended to solve with your distro? Like why would I use this over cachyos that has a massive community, too many customizations, or just arch-installer, barebones.

Like for example Was it a better out of the box (OOTB) experience? If so how is it better, what in your vision is makes this a better OOTB, how are you attempting to solve a problem that you observed.

Its completely fine if it was a learning experience, then your history would be interesting to see how you went about creating it. Etc.

Also cool project! And congrats on completing a thing on your bucket list!!

The question shouldn’t be “can I build an os” but “can I maintain it”

I run the Lemmy instance this is posted from (fangnet.me). When I'm not doing that

Well it's been running for one day and you're the only user...

Ok so the only unique feature this "distro" has is the following:

Arch Linux, with teeth. FangOS ships with fang, a friendly frontend for pacman. Same Arch power underneath, more personality on top — including progress bars with actual teeth. It handles privilege escalation itself, so fang install just works. Add --aur and it reaches into the Arch User Repository through yay or paru, the same friendly way.

This is f. insane. Even for a fully agenetic production.
