LyargoOS is an opinionated Void Linux-based distribution named after the author's nickname "李二狗" (Li Ergou). It provides a preconfigured desktop with curated application choices out of the box.
- Multiple desktop flavors: KDE Plasma 5, XFCE, GNOME
- Comprehensive CLI toolkit: zsh, nano, neovim, git, tmux, htop, eza, fzf, fastfetch, and more
- GUI essentials: alacritty, gparted, gnome-disk-utility, zathura, CopyQ, celluloid, gwenview
- Input method: fcitx5 with Rime, Chinese addons, and config tool
- Papirus icon theme + WQY Microhei font
- Calamares GUI installer with optional software selection (browsers, media, graphics, etc.)
- void-installer (text mode fallback)
- Pipewire audio (per-user, auto-starts on login)
- NetworkManager + Avahi/mDNS (enabled at boot)
- elogind (session management, suspend, power control)
- Flatpak with Flathub pre-configured
- Void nonfree repo enabled by default (nvidia drivers, wifi firmware, microcode)
- qemu-guest-agent + spice-vdagent on x86_64 (for VM testing)
- Custom XBPS repository support
- Void Linux compatible (uses official Void repos)
