About
About Ditana GNU/Linux
Ditana GNU/Linux is an Arch-based distribution that dares to think differently. Designed for users who want a cutting-edge yet robust system, Ditana combines clean, JSON-driven configuration with a modern installer written in Raku. This approach offers an unprecedented level of flexibility while maintaining clarity and simplicity, empowering both everyday users and advanced developers.
Why Ditana Stands Out
- Empowered Choices: From kernel security to filesystem selection, Ditana ensures you’re in control. Whether you’re a beginner benefiting from robust defaults or an expert fine-tuning every detail, our installer provides clear explanations to guide you through complex decisions.
- Advanced Hardware Detection: Ditana leverages a JSON-based system to detect hardware and tailor configurations. For example, it can identify vulnerabilities specific to your CPU and provide mitigation options, balancing security and performance according to your needs.
- Server and Desktop: Ditana excels as both a high-performance desktop and a reliable server OS. Features like ZFS with automated snapshots make it a compelling choice for administrators seeking robust solutions.
How Donations Help
By contributing to Ditana, you enable us to:
- Improve the installer and make it distribution-agnostic,
- Localize the system into multiple languages,
- Support advanced server automation tools like Cloud-Init,
- Build a thriving community to drive innovation forward.
Your support also allows us to create professional documentation, maintain high-quality updates, and ensure Ditana reaches its full potential as a community-driven project.
For Developers
We believe in using the best tools for the job. That’s why Ditana embraces modern technologies like Raku and JSON for the installer, providing a maintainable and extendable foundation. For example:
{
"name": "avx2-available",
"detect": "'/proc/cpuinfo'.IO.lines.first(*.contains('flags')).contains('avx2').so"
}This modular approach ensures configurations align with user preferences and hardware compatibility, creating a system that is both powerful and approachable.
