Welcome to Joborun Linux!

Basically Arch with runit instead of systemd

Arch as it was meant to be, simple, fast, secure, cutting edge - without the systemd labyrinth that chokes it

Utilizing runit (default) init and service supervision ..

Abiding to Arch goals and principles more than Arch-Linux itself

Build from source in the complete absence of systemd and libraries using eudev, consolekit2, seatd, libudev-zero, tinyramfs, and other alternatives.

Maintaining as much compatibility to pacman/Arch-Linux based packages as possible, so you have a wide variety of software to choose from (Arch, AUR, Obarun etc.)

Graphic environment support for X11 OpenBox and JWM, many more available for X11, and labwc for wayland.

For veteran sys-admins who appreciate building from source in as lean an environment as possible!

Equally friendly to students of the art of building from source, and a great base to move on and contribute

By using elogind, esysusers, etmpfiles, xudev, is not really being free of systemd and other mega-corporation "controls", just because pid1 is not systemd itself! We stay clear of such dependencies!

Employing the best alternatives to multi-national corporations' "free" software, such as mdevd, runit, s6, xz, gzip, bz2, libudev-zero, tinyramfs, opennic-dns, seatd, greetd,and more! (about 1200 pkgs available in our own repos in addition to Obarun and Arch-Linux)

FOSS is meant to be built from this open source by the user/sys-admin, not to be furnished by middlemen as blobs. Although we will provide normal repositories with built packages for you to replace them with your own builds, or to just get started with a cleaner (than Arch) building environment.

Finally, linux as a fork of unix, not as a cheap alternative and simulation of MS-Win/Mac-os/Android

Note: Support has moved to diaspora from Reddit because reddit became too commercial and "scripty", but the old site is maintained for archived information and topics of interest, as well as historical documentation of the distribution archived joborun support forum on reddit.

We would like to thank the owners of pozol.eu for providing the domain name they offered for us to use, codeberg.org for providing us with a great source repository (forgejo instance), neocities.org for providing us this website space and tools, riseup.net for being there for us for 1/4 century, all free of commercial advertising and data-minning. We finally thank sysdfree editor for providing us with a sourceforge.net reliable, free of cost, binary package and tarball/iso server, while being respective of our collective entity that such "free" servers don't.

We also thank Linus Trovalds for providing us with a kernel to make everything work (up to October 2024, from that point onwards Linux has become a fork under the directives of the US government and the Biden administration) -- Gerrit Pape for Runit -- and countless others for all the software they have written and shared with the unix/linux community.

Join us in an all out boycot of all of those who are making telemetry appear as "normal" in Linux/unix

_{such as Gnome, KDE-plasma, Mozilla, Chrome-xxx, and a few other corporations who are trying to hijack linux to satisfy their greedy financial needs. DO NOT ENDORSE THEM OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTENCE}
