Introduction

This project serves as a solution for those who wish to have a pre-configured custom Linux, with all the needed apps/features already installed. An example of its use case is events. Every event organizer needs to have all their systems configured equally, and need some specific apps to run the event. Configuring each system one by one can be a time taking and difficult task, but using Meilix, they can create their own custom Linux ISO and run/live boot on as many systems as they want. It will not just save countless hours, but also make the process more cost-efficient.

Feature

Meilix is a light weight, beautiful and fast Linux with all the features of Ubuntu/Debian distro. Custom Meilix builds are commissioned by the Meilix-generator web app.

Architecture

Meilix is based on Ubuntu/Debian architecture. Meilix uses LXQT as the standard Desktop Environment.
