The last year or so I've been working on my package Manager / distro LPM or the Linux Package Manager. I've been able to bootstrap all the way from scratch using LPM. The distro is based on current LFS systemd with many tweaks and fixes from Arch Linux. LPM itself is pretty heavily inspired by pacman. The lpmbuild format is very similar to an arch PKGBUILD.

LPM offers SAT grade dependency resolution. Even at build time for source builds.

it also handles automatic stage 2 rebuilds with deferred rebuild of said packages until required deps for the stage 2 build are satisfied.

As you can see this is already a self hosting system.

took me about 2 weeks from the very VERY first iso boot up, to this... and now.... and now i can finally build upon it and make it what i want it to be, which will benefit so many people.

🚀 CALLING LINUX DEVELOPERS WORLDWIDE — HELP BUILD LIKACOREX LEOS, A NEW LINUX-BASED OS!

Hello everyone! 👋

First of all, please excuse my English. I'm French, I'm only 13 years old, and I'm passionate about Linux, programming, and operating systems.

Today, I'm reaching out to the Linux community because I'm working on an ambitious project, and I'd love to learn from experienced developers around the world.

💻 Introducing LIKACOREX LEOS

LIKACOREX LEOS (Leopold Operating System) is my personal project to build a Linux-based operating system with its own identity, interface, and tools.

My vision includes:

• 🧠 LikerneX — a customized Linux kernel based on the upstream Linux kernel.
• 🖥️ LEOS Desktop — a distinctive, user-friendly desktop environment.
• 🤖 LEONA — an integrated assistant designed to help users interact with their system.
• 🔐 Security and privacy — a system designed with security, reliability, and user control in mind.
• 🛠️ Applications and system tools — a complete and accessible computing experience.

These are project goals, and the system is still under development. I know that building an operating system is a huge technical challenge, and I'm ready to learn step by step.

🧑‍💻 I'm looking for developers and mentors!

I'm looking for people who would be willing to help in any of the following areas:

• Linux kernel configuration and development
• Bootloaders, boot processes, and system initialization
• Linux distribution building and packaging
• C, C++, Python, shell scripting, and systems programming
• Desktop environments and graphical interfaces
• Security, testing, documentation, and code reviews

You don't have to join the project or make a long-term commitment. Even a small suggestion, a code review, an explanation, or advice about the right technical direction would be incredibly valuable.

I'm not expecting anyone to build the whole system for me. My goal is to learn, improve my programming skills, and build something meaningful with guidance from the community.

🌍 Why am I sharing this?

I'm only 13, and I know I still have a lot to learn. But I believe that age shouldn't stop someone from exploring programming, learning about Linux, and working toward an ambitious goal.

I'm not claiming to have created a revolutionary operating system already. I'm sharing a project in progress, looking for honest feedback, practical advice, and people who enjoy helping open-source projects grow.

If you're interested, please take a look at the repository and let me know what you think. I'd especially appreciate advice on what I should prioritize first and how to make the project technically sound.

🙏 Thank you, Linux community!

Whether you're a kernel developer, a distribution maintainer, a systems programmer, a desktop developer, or simply an experienced Linux user, I'd be grateful for your feedback.

If you have advice, ideas, or would like to contribute voluntarily, feel free to reply.

Let's learn, build, and improve together! 🚀

Thank you for reading!
