What is Shebang?

Shebang is an Artix GNU/Linux based distribution offering a great blend of end user and power user experience. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance.

#! Simplicity

From the Openbox website:

Openbox is a highly configurable window manager. It allows you to change almost every aspect of how you interact with your desktop and invent completely new ways to use and control it. It can be like a video game for controlling windows. But Openbox can also be kept extremely simple, as it is in the default setup, meaning that it can suit just about anybody. Openbox gives you control without making you do everything.

Shebang uses the Openbox window manager. Openbox is lightweight and speedy, and as a result, Shebang IS fast. We don't even use Login manager, cause it is bloat. Shebang comes with the ability to play most popular media formats, including but not limited to MP3, DVD playback and Adobe Flash. Shebang also comes with many popular applications installed by default, including but not limited to Iceweasel (Firefox) browser, mpv, Transmission BitTorrent Client, etc.

#! Privacy

Shebang also comes with many applications chosen specifically for their hackability attributes. You can even automatically connect VPN just by clicking on the polybar, for instance.

#! Security

With the exception of a few packages, Shebang is built entirely from packages available from the Artix repositories. Shebang uses the pacman and flatpak package management tools with security. If you are already familiar with Arch, you should have no trouble working with Shebang.
