Your true source for the documentation and information about METIS Linux.
METIS Linux is a linux distribution embodying the KISS and unix philosophy. It uses simple init systems instead of systemd and super minimal window managers to level up your productivity. I, @PwnWriter started this project as a hobby project but now it has been evolved into a full-fledged distro for both beginner and advanced users.
This wiki will cover METIS Linux related documentation from the base install to configurating the overall distribution.
To get started, download the latest ISO of Metis Linux from its official releases page, and then follow the instructions provided below.

└─sda3 8:3 0 293.6G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 1 31.7G 0 disk
