A custom, Arch-based live and installable Linux ISO built with archiso, geared toward security work and daily use. It ships a Hyprland (Wayland) desktop and a curated package set on top of a minimal Arch base.
- Arch-based, built with archiso — reproducible ISO builds from a declarative
profiledef.sh. - Hyprland desktop with supporting KDE/Plasma and Wayland utilities.
- BIOS + UEFI boot (syslinux for BIOS, GRUB for UEFI ia32/x64).
- ~900 packages preinstalled, including networking and security tooling (e.g.
nmap,tcpdump). - squashfs (xz) airootfs for a compact live image.
Requires an Arch Linux host with archiso installed and root privileges:
sudo pacman -S archiso
sudo mkarchiso -v -w /tmp/enigma-work -o ./out .The resulting ISO is written to ./out/.
sudo dd if=./out/EnigmaOS-*.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=syncReplace /dev/sdX with your USB device. This erases the target device — double-check it.
