Sabayon Linux was a Gentoo-based distribution that existed from the mid-2000s until 2019. It aimed to make Gentoo accessible to regular users without the usual compilation headaches.
Created by Fabio Erculiani, Sabayon offered pre-built binaries through its Entropy package manager. This let users skip the hours of compiling while still getting the Gentoo experience.
Now Fabio has shared that he’s working on a new immutable, atomic Linux distro called matrixOS. Like Sabayon, it’s also based on Gentoo.
🚧 The developer warns that this is a hobby project specifically created for homelab setups, not for production machines.



I’ve invented a new type of Vegetarianism: instead of eating veggies for every meal, occasionally you’ll add meat to your diet as well. It’s really the best of both worlds.
Picture someone who says they could never become vegetarian because they love bacon too much.
It would be a lot better if they went vegetarian + bacon, than if they kept eating meat for every meal, thinking they can’t be vegetarian anyway.
I agree. But you see how that’s beside the point, right?
