DanOS - My daily Linux driver.

DanOS a Debian Linux and the Qtile Desktop Environment

Remember to install Debian without a desktop environment.

Install a fresh copy of Debian Linux - Stable via the Netinst installer ISO. After installation Debian, Reboot the computer and login with your username and password. Start the installation as regular users with SUDO rights, after you login to your freshly installed machine.

Run this one command to start DanOS install and you're good to go.:

curl -sfL https://git.itmail.dk/mara/danos/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash

Or you can use "wget" if you don't have "curl"

wget -qO- https://git.itmail.dk/mara/danos/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash
