Not Any Distractions. Not Any Bullshit. Not any privacy? Not Any Problem.

Just what you need to work and play.

Linux OS Configuration. In Guix and Nix.

Goals

  • Stop your data and attention from being sapped by mundane bullshit, ads, and distraction.
  • Focus on the essentials for working sharply and learning well, in a systematic fashion.
  • Make personal computing personal again. Take back the magic.

Features

  • Separate userspaces and environments for Work, Study and Play (autoenv + login to restrict folder views)
  • Doom Emacs configured for notetaking and lecture media, and made discoverable levels. Uses dumlat.
  • Torrent and Media Downloader for courseware
  • Spaced Repetition for the command line and on desktop
  • Discoverable commands in shell with navi, fish-like features, and more
  • Grayscale Visuals for less visual distraction
  • Based on PopOS for tile-based navigation and usability at desktop level
  • Controlled through functional builds
  • Portable with LiveUSB
  • Setup synchronization server for configuration changes in SyncThing
  • Cripple your browser – use private alternatives
  • Maintain privacy-in-depth with aliases and identity management online
  • Decentralized-by-default: supports Matrix and Urbit
  • Streaming focus music
  • Keyboard-only navigation and input
  • Display manager with no desktop – no you don't need more tabs. No you don't need a latent environment of addictive stimulus triggering icons.
  • Automatic archiving while browsing with ArchiveBox or IPFS

Why "Notan"?

In visual art, "Nōtan" (濃淡) is the practice of composing with light and dark shapes to bring different parts of a composition into relief. Notan lays the foundation of compositions – without Notan, their structure is muddled. Working with Notan alone produces minimalist compositions.
