    I have never heard of "Snow Linux" before. The homepage is minimal:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;snowlinux.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;snowlinux.org&#x2F;

    I submitted the Github page as a new story:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;frostyard&#x2F;snowdesktop" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;frostyard&#x2F;snowdesktop

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49907568">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49907568

      that repo is retired, now all the Frostyard atomic images build out of a single mkosi repo at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;frostyard&#x2F;snosi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;frostyard&#x2F;snosi. the website is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frostyard.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frostyard.org - I&#x27;ll take down the older snowlinux.org or redirect it. Thanks!

        Holy cr4p that is a wall of text on the repo! :-o

        Is that massive amount of bumf machine-generated?

          the README is probably 50&#x2F;50 hand written and LLM written. We haven&#x27;t really done much to publicize the org yet, we were waiting for bootc to stabilize on Debian. Tomorrow is actually retirement day for the non-bootc installation paths so we may do some clean up in the future. Don&#x27;t really have a burning need to become the next hot distro though. If atomic debian desktops and servers sound good we&#x27;re here.
