Documentation

Everything needed to get started with Nixovena distributions.

Getting Started

Welcome to the Nixovena Labs documentation. This guide gives a brief overview of the Nixovena distributions and their targeted use cases.

Step 1: Choose a Distribution

Six distributions are available, each designed for a specific use case:

  • Zenclora OS — Zenclora is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution optimized for stability and daily use. Zenclora offers simplified package and system management commands to make Linux usage easier; it avoids unnecessary complexity while providing control to the user. From browsing the web to handling office tasks, the system gets out of your way and lets you focus.
  • Fishy Linux — Fishy Linux is a fast and minimal Debian-based Linux distribution. It uses the lightweight and efficient LXQT desktop environment. Fishy Linux comes with broad hardware support and can be installed to disk using Debian Installer. Designed for low-resource environments, it strips away background services while maintaining a productive experience.
  • Linux Engineer Toolkit Live — Linux Engineer Toolkit (LengToolkit) Live is a specialized, recovery-oriented Linux distribution designed for system engineers and IT professionals. Operating exclusively in Live mode, it provides a robust environment to rescue failing systems, recover lost data, and manage disk infrastructures without the need for installation.
  • Hardened Slarpx — Hardened Slarpx is a Debian-based Linux distribution built with a strict security-first approach. It uses a multi-layered defense model with aggressive mitigations and extensive kernel-level hardening. Due to its highly restrictive firewall policy, anonymization tools and certain network protocols are intentionally unsupported. The distribution includes there custom runtime security modules: Poison , Xennytsu and Silencer. Beyond passive hardening, Slarpx focuses on active intervention, sabotage, and destruction of attack paths when necessary.
  • Linux Megamix — Linux Megamix is a Debian-based Linux distribution. It consists of 12 different versions designed for 12 distinct purposes. Each version includes kernel settings, packages, and a desktop environment tailored to its specific purpose. The available versions are: Classic, Core, Lite, Multimedia, Scientific, Education, Hardened, Gaming, Rolling, Developer, Ultra, and Rescue. The distribution uses the Debian Installer but also offers a Live Mode.
  • Almighty Linux — Almighty is a hybrid Linux distribution based on Debian testing and Kali. Almighty Linux comes pre-configured with a wide range of OSINT tools, and it also includes OSINT tools designed from the ground up specifically for Almighty Linux. The distribution includes privacy and security tools to ensure Opsec security during information gathering. Almighty also uses hardened kernel settings.

FAQ

What is Nixovena Labs?

An organization developing Linux distributions and applications.

Are the distributions free?

Yes, all distributions are 100% free and open-source. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no telemetry.

How can I contact?

Send an email via the Contact page.

What is the base of the distributions?

They are all Debian-based. However, if there is enough time, an ARCH-based distribution might also be released in the future.

Does it work on UEFI?

Yes. The distributions are both BIOS and UEFI compatible.

How are the distributions built?

Zenclora, Fishy OS, Lengtoolkit Live, etc. are built using Debian Live-Build. Linux Megamix, on the other hand, uses a custom tool called Megamix Build Automation. For more info on Debian Live Build: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-live/

Is AI used in distribution development?

Yes. AI is used to streamline processes and for some automation. Additionally, some scripts are written using AI assistance. However, AI is explicitly not used in releng, hardening, the development of certain tools, and testing processes.

Will there be a Discord or Reddit server?

Maybe. It is undecided at the moment.

How can I support?

Write reviews on platforms or recommend the distributions to your friends.

I use Nvidia, can I use the distributions?

Yes. The distributions support Nvidia drivers. In fact, some of them simplify the installation with a specific wrapper script. In the future, Nvidia installation will be unified and simplified for all distributions.

Why were so many distributions made? How is it all managed?

The distributions are made as a hobby by the developer. They are entirely dependent on Debian, so the upstream maintenance burden is relatively low. Also, in the age of AI and automation, it is much easier to debug, orchestrate builds, and develop.

Contributing

Contributions from the community are welcome. Ideas, improvement suggestions, or code submissions can be sent via email. All contributions are valued, ranging from testing/reporting bugs, suggesting new features, contributing custom scripts, to designing themes or translating docs.

Note: All contributions and code submissions are currently managed through direct email communication.

Partnership & Cooperation

For potential partnerships, collaborations, integration requests, or distribution sponsorship, direct email communication is welcomed. Nixovena Labs is open to cooperating with hardware vendors, open-source organizations, and mirror providers. If a custom Linux distribution built specifically for your company or organization's requirements is needed, potential custom distribution development can also be requested and discussed.

Contact For Partnership

Support

For bug reports or assistance, an email can be sent with the error details. Please keep the following in mind when troubleshooting:

  • Debian Base: All distributions are based on Debian. If a system-level issue or package conflict is encountered, solutions can often be found by searching through Debian documentation or forums.
  • Built-in Manuals: Use standard Linux manual pages (man command) available within the distributions.
  • AI Assistants: You can query AI assistants using terminal outputs or error logs to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot common Linux/Debian problems.
