matrixOS brings OSTree atomic upgrades to Gentoo with a simple motto: "emerge once, deploy everywhere."

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.

    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.
