Torog OS
An option for resource maximization and bloatware elimination.
Why install TorogOS?
Why is it optimal?
Preempt-RT: Includes a patch that provides enhanced real-time capabilities, which is especially beneficial for time-sensitive applications such as real-time control systems, real-time audio and video, where a quick and predictable system response is required.
Low Latency Control: Introduces the Low-Latency Input Output (LLIO) queue, which reduces system latency by improving how input and output interrupts are handled. This is useful for tasks requiring smooth and responsive interaction with input, output, and MIDI controllers.
Advanced Task Scheduler: Its kernel features a more advanced task scheduler that improves resource allocation and process scheduling in the system, leading to better utilization of CPU cores and a fairer distribution of CPU time among processes. A faster response to system requests.
Faster Boot Times: By using techniques like parallelization of startup tasks and optimization of the initialization process, the system can boot faster, which is especially useful in environments where system startup time is critical, such as servers and embedded systems.
Why is it secure?
Regular Security Updates: Regular security updates are provided for core packages, allowing users to keep their systems up to date and protected against the latest threats.
Advanced Package Tool: Uses the APT (Advanced Package Tool) package management, which provides a secure and reliable mechanism for installing, updating, and removing software, also verifies digital signatures ensuring the integrity and authenticity of downloaded packages.
Open Source Focus: TorogOS, like Debian, is based on open source software, allowing the community of developers and security experts to examine the source code for potential security issues, facilitating early detection of vulnerabilities and collaboration in problem-solving.
Remember that system security also depends on user security practices, such as applying regular updates, properly configuring the system, and using strong passwords.
How compatible is it?
TorogOS is a highly compatible distribution with various hardware architectures and offers a wide range of installable/modifiable software, its focus is on stability and security making it a popular choice for servers and critical environments.
Is it comfortable?
The system can provide a flexible environment, as it is developed for quick use via the keyboard. It incorporates a minimalist and configurable user interface that allows precise control over windows and workspace management (i3-wm).
Is it a supported distribution?
The community on GitHub is open to developers looking to provide support, however, TorogOS, being an officially supported distribution by a single person, makes it a robust operating system but also a distribution with an irregular release cycle.
Its focus
The system is designed with resource maximization and bloatware elimination in mind. Ideal for developers, engineers, auditors, and portable environments.
How to install TorogOS?
Download the latest version of the operating system.
Mount the .ISO on a USB drive using Rufus (on Windows), or Balena Etcher (on Linux).
Restart the machine, and during the reboot process, press your computer's boot management key, then select the USB drive.
The live version of the system will automatically run. Press the key combination
$MOD + Dand enter the commandminstall-launcherin the search bar, which will launch the system installer.Fill in all the fields and wait for the installation to complete.
