XFCE on Wayland
A modern Wayland session with the classic XFCE desktop. Fast, familiar, and resource-light — ideal for older hardware or minimal setups.
Built on freedesktop-sdk

Reproducible from source
BuildStream pipelines give deterministic, cacheable builds. Every package, from the kernel to the panel plugins, is built from source with pinned revisions.
bootc OCI image

Shared family
Tromsø and XFCE Linux are siblings — same build system, same base, different desktop. Fix the base once, both benefit.

XFCE Linux is built with BuildStream on freedesktop-sdk — the same foundation as GNOME OS. These sibling projects share the same build system and base:
