Nitrux OS

Nitrux emphasizes using AppBoxes to manage end-user software. Nitrux also does not use systemd as its init system; instead, it uses OpenRC, a simpler init and service manager, and a suite of convergent applications called Maui Apps, which uses MauiKit, a free and open-source convergent, cross-platform UI framework, to create these applications.

Nitrux is an immutable Linux distribution that uses NX Overlayroot, delivering new versions of the distribution with greater accuracy. An immutable Linux system is a system that, once installed, cannot be modified. It also applies extensive kernel and system tuning for responsive, high-performance computing.

Nitrux uses Aesthetic FHS, which changes the structure of the root directory to make the FHS directories more human-readable and easier to understand their purpose.
