Metislinux depreciation

This!, exactly 2 years ago on my 18th birthday, I launched metislinux a beautiful runit based linux distro. I had fun working on this project with a few otherguys.

MetisLinux was essentially my own desktop, featuring a GUI installer and three custom-managed package sources: Andromeda, Cosmic, and Recon. While working on this project, I received tremendous support from the Plan9 community on Matrix and many others. I wanna thank you guys wholeheartly <3.

The why

I've planed a lot to bring in metislinux. I've even wrote a package manager hysp, a custom bar for wayland heliumbar in rust btw, but then i started working, I had to use Apple silicon for my work, had my universities starting soon. Balancing my personal life and the project has become increasingly challenging, making it difficult to continue the project and hence the project has been archived.

The future

Although the project will no longer receive updates, all our work remains available at github/metis-os under the MIT License. The code, resources, and tools are free for you to use and build upon. Feel free to fork it, learn from it, or create something new.

To everyone involved in Metislinux; whether you contributed code, reported bugs, shared feedback, or simply used it—thank you! Your support has been invaluable, and I couldn’t have achieved this without you.
