davrOS

Popular British Science Fiction Linux Distro. A Post-Install script for Arch Linux written in Python.

(Not yet suitable for production usage)

Install

Run this on an Arch Linux base install:

curl -fsSL https://davros.netlify.app/davros > davros
chmod +x davros && ./davros

Warning: Configuration and other files may be deleted, only use davrOS on a blank slate just in case!
Note: Installation will be network intensive and may take time.

Upgrade davrOS (beta)

Run this as root on your davrOS system. This will also work on any other Arch-Based distro but it will just install and upgrade packages that davrOS installs by default.

if command -v curl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  curl -fsSL "https://davros.netlify.app/upgrade.sh" > davros
  curl -fsSL "https://davros.netlify.app/pkg.txt" > pkg.txt
else
  wget "https://davros.netlify.app/upgrade.sh"
  wget "https://davros.netlify.app/pkg.txt"
  mv upgrade.sh davros
fi
chmod +x davros
./davros

Note: Upgrading may be network intensive and may take time.
