Sabayon Linux was a Gentoo-based distribution that existed from the mid-2000s until 2019. It aimed to make Gentoo accessible to regular users without the usual compilation headaches.
Created by Fabio Erculiani, Sabayon offered pre-built binaries through its Entropy package manager. This let users skip the hours of compiling while still getting the Gentoo experience.
Now Fabio has shared that he’s working on a new immutable, atomic Linux distro called matrixOS. Like Sabayon, it’s also based on Gentoo.
🚧 The developer warns that this is a hobby project specifically created for homelab setups, not for production machines.
I’ve invented a new type of Vegetarianism: instead of eating veggies for every meal, occasionally you’ll add meat to your diet as well. It’s really the best of both worlds.
