'''Redgreen OS''' is a customized personal Linux distribution developed by [[Studio RGB-Newt]], based on the ''Linux from Scratch'' (LFS) project, mostly as a quick way to fire up a PC with [[NeonWabbit]]'s favourite software and settings on the go (usually from a Live USB stick, or pre-installed on a laptop). Redgreen OS' tailored selection of packages, system configurations, and optimizations cater to the needs of someone who instantly wants to create animation, art, music, video games, and other multimedia content without further setup. This distribution is not intended for widespread use, but rather serves as a hobbyist example of the flexibility and customization capabilities inherent in the open-source nature of Linux. | '''Redgreen OS''' is a customized personal Linux distribution developed by [[Studio RGB-Newt]], based on the ''Linux from Scratch'' (LFS) project, mostly as a quick way to fire up a PC with [[NeonWabbit]]'s favourite software and settings on the go (usually from a Live USB stick, or pre-installed on a laptop).

Redgreen OS is a customized personal Linux distribution developed by Studio RGB-Newt, based on the Linux from Scratch (LFS) project, mostly as a quick way to fire up a PC with NeonWabbit's favourite software and settings on the go (usually from a Live USB stick, or pre-installed on a laptop). Redgreen OS' tailored selection of packages, system configurations, and optimizations cater to the needs of someone who instantly wants to create animation, art, music, video games, and other multimedia content without further setup. This distribution is not intended for widespread use, but rather serves as a hobbyist example of the flexibility and customization capabilities inherent in the open-source nature of Linux.
With support for nearly every Linux desktop environment, Redgreen OS includes creative media productivity applications like Blender, tools to view the outputs of said software like VLC media player, and software for leisure such as Steam. The distribution is regularly updated to maintain compatibility with upstream software and security updates, ensuring the system remains reliable and secure.
