Important changes show what will be modified and why.
Your system. Your rules.
An Arch-based distribution built to give you control without turning maintenance into a second job. Felunyx aims to make important changes understandable before they happen — and reversible when something goes wrong.
In active development · Phase 2 · Reproducible ISO skeletonControl without a black box.
The interface should make the system easier to use without hiding it. When an action changes packages, files, services, snapshots, or boot, Felunyx should explain what will change and provide a clear recovery path when needed.
Higher-risk operations are designed with recovery in mind before they are treated as convenient.
GUI and CLI share the same foundation so the same machine does not have two competing truths.
Local-first, no advertising, and no default telemetry. The computer stays yours.
Meet Whiskers
The desktop Felunyx is building.
Whiskers brings flexible workspace organization, shell behavior, and settings into one authored experience. The native implementation is still in development.
Built for Felunyx first. Not artificially locked to it.Adaptive organization
Workspaces and layouts adapt to context instead of enforcing one arrangement.
Coherent integration
Shell behavior and settings follow the same interaction model.
Personal by design
Personalization makes the environment feel like yours without becoming a generic layer.
Built in public
Felunyx is still in development — and the progress is public.
The active phase, important decisions, and validation evidence remain visible. The goal is to show what has been proven, what is in progress, and what still depends on testing.
In development
Prove that the Felunyx foundation can become a reproducible ISO that boots, installs and comes back through GRUB without pretending the rest already exists.

Recently
The primary identity is now the F.
The lynx remains the mascot and secondary emblem. The primary mark stays simple enough to work from favicon to splash.
The compositor strategy became less self-destructive.
The plan now starts from a mature Wayland foundation and keeps what actually defines the experience in Felunyx: workspaces, layouts, focus, stacks, restoration and policy.
The ISO boot failure stopped being “something broke”.
The problem was traced to microcode/initrd paths that did not exist in the final image. The fix remains in a Phase 2 PR until the right gates pass.
