Why NetLinux?

Distribution packages are stable but often lag months or years behind upstream. NetLinux builds track upstream development closely, delivering security fixes, new features, and bug fixes well before they reach the official repos. Every package page explains exactly what you get over the distro version.

These packages lean heavily on AI-assisted development for rapid production of features and fixes. Security and stability are treated as non-negotiable when working with AI — every change is reviewed, tested against upstream behaviour, and built through a fully automated CI/CD pipeline with GPG-signed releases. The source for every package is public on GitHub.
