Zeppe-Lin Hero

Complexity, by Choice. Simplicity, by Design.

Zeppe-Lin Linux

Minimal. Source-based. Built to be understood.

Zeppe-Lin is a GNU/Linux distribution for x86-64 systems, forked from CRUX and forged in the spirit of KISS — Keep It Simple, Stupid. It’s not a distro for everyone. It’s for those who want to build their system from the ground up, with clarity over abstraction and control over convenience.

You compile. You configure. You own it.

Zeppe-Lin gives you the tools to shape your system, optimize it, and understand. No layers. No hand-holding. Just raw, deliberate Linux.

Latest Release: v1.1

Built in the dark, ready to shine on your rig. Featuring Stine Luft Satomi — our fictional hacker muse — this release tightens the screws and sharpens the edge.
