|
## 🌟 **What is Particle-OS?**
|
|
|
|
**Particle-OS** is a Debian-based immutable operating system with atomic update capabilities, designed as a 1:1 equivalent of ublue-OS but for Debian systems. Built on the proven Debian Atomic foundation, Particle-OS provides a clean, efficient architecture that eliminates redundancy while maintaining all functionality.
|
|
|
|
### **Core Philosophy**
|
|
- **Clean Architecture**: Direct inheritance from Debian Atomic (like Fedora Atomic + ublue-OS)
|
|
- **No Redundancy**: Focus on Particle-OS specific features, not rebuilding foundation
|
|
- **Debian Native**: Full compatibility with Debian 13+ ecosystem
|
|
- **Atomic Updates**: Reliable, rollback-capable system updates
|
|
- **Container Integration**: Modern container deployment workflows
|
