🌺 External project — not maintained under the tuna-os org. See zirconium-linux/hawaii.

Zirconium Hawaii is an experiment — initially Niri OS — that turned into a real project. It builds its own components from source on freedesktop-sdk with BuildStream, 100% reproducible. The closest comparison is GNOME OS, which is the project's biggest inspiration — same build system, shared components, different desktop.

What is it?​

Zirconium Hawaii is Zirconium rebuilt on freedesktop-sdk instead of Fedora. It uses the Niri scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor and builds every component from source with BuildStream pipelines.

How to use it​

Currently there is no official installation method. Rebasing from Zirconium (Fedora) to Zirconium Hawaii has been done successfully but is not officially supported and may cause issues.

git clone https://github.com/zirconium-linux/hawaii.git
cd hawaii
just build
