A: Tildelinux is a Debian-based GNU+Linux distribution focused on connection to
|
|
|
|
|
and interaction with tildes, shared \*nix systems in the style of tilde.club
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Q: How is Tildelinux different from Debian?*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: The main feature of Tildelinux is the integration of the tilde's remote
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem via sshfs, with the intention of allowing the user to interact with
|
|
|
|
|
the tilde as if it were their own computer. This has a few advantages: First, it
|
|
|
|
|
allows for a (mostly) portable computing experience -- since your files are
|
|
|
|
|
synced to a tilde, you can start work on one computer and pick up where you left
|
|
|
|
|
off on another. Second, the graphical user experience of Tildelinux allows for
|
|
|
|
|
more possibilities of interaction with a tilde, which are traditionally
|
|
|
|
|
text-only. Third, the lack of disk requirement combined with the minimal desktop
|
|
|
|
|
environment shipped by default allow for Tildelinux to be run on very low-power
|
|
|
|
|
systems, provided they have a sufficient internet connection.

|
*Q: How do I get Tildelinux?*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: Currently there are no official releases of Tildelinux yet, but you can build
|
|
|
|
|
your own using the live-build config in the
|
|
|
|
|
[lb-config](https://tildegit.org/tildelinux/lb-config) repo. Tildelinux is
|
|
|
|
|
offered as a persistent live disk image which means you can have a fully
|
|
|
|
|
functioning Tildelinux distribution without having to install anything to a hard
|
|
|
|
|
drive. Please note that Tildelinux is still a work in progress and is not
|
|
|
|
|
suitable for end-user use quite yet. If you still want to try out Tildelinux, be
|
|
|
|
|
mindful of the TODO list below.

Q: How do I contribute to Tildelinux
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
A: The best way to contribute to Tildelinux is through pull requests to the
|
|
|
|
|
[lb-config](https://tildegit.org/tildelinux/lb-config) repo where most of the
|
|
|
|
|
development is done, as well as #tildelinux irc channel on tilde.chat
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
