**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.
