Kiro is a minimal, flexible, and fully customizable Arch-based ISO project built on top of ArcoLinux.
It aims to give users full control over their system by providing clean scripts and a modular structure for building their own customized ISO.
The default configuration includes systemd-boot, EXT4 filesystem, SDDM display manager, and two desktop environments XFCE and chadwm.
It’s designed for power users and developers who want a base to build their personalized setups, rather than a fully loaded “out-of-box” distro.
The build process is transparent, reproducible, and script-driven. The source code, build scripts, and configurations are all version controlled and open.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
