Description

A self updating and self maintaining immutable distribution with fantastic hardware support and pre-configured with sane defaults for gamers.

Can even be set to boot straight into Steam on some hardware.

An nvidia variant for users with 9xx and 10xx series cards, and an nvidia-open variant for users with 16xx series cards or newer is provided.

Warning

Immutable distributions are not recommended if you like to tinker a lot with your underlying operating system.
