+**note that einfach doesn't work yet, is highly experimental and sources aren't public**
+
+einfach is my independent source based linux distribution.
+
+it's simple, proritizes user choice and uses a custom [lua](https://lua.org) based package manager ([pow!](https://codeberg.org/einfach/pow)).
+
+i made it for the same reason most distros exist. none of them work for me.
+
+here's a list of criteria:
+- no GNU (rules out [gentoo](https://gentoo.org))
+- runit/openrc
+- source based
+- busybox (rules out [chimera](https://chimera-linux.org))
+- libc++ (rules out [alpine](https://alpinelinux.org))
+- X11 (rules out KISS Linux)
+
+## gentoo
+
+[Gentoo](https://gentoo.org) is a great distro. However, it heavily depends on GNU coreutils (specifically bash).
+
+## alpine
+
+[Alpine](https://alpinelinux.org) uses libstdc++ and isn't source based.
+
+## chimera
+
+[Chimera](https://chimera-linux.org) is so close but uses FreeBSD userland instead of busybox and uses dinit.
+
+## kiss linux
+
+[KISS](https://kisscommunity.org/) looks great but it only supports Wayland.
