glaucus is an independent, open-source, general-purpose, bleeding-edge, rolling-release, source-based Linux® distribution based on musl libc and toybox, built from scratch around the suckless philosophy without sacrificing convenience.
Optimized for performance and size, glaucus strives to be as fast and minimal as possible while remaining clean, simple and most importantly convenient.
glaucus initially started out as a hobby project called snail, and has thus been under development for 5 years now.
