Hi, I'm root1 from Uganda: maintainer and developer of ShrikeLinux, ArchShrike, Strike Linux, and Kampala Linux. As a dedicated Linux sysadmin, open-source fan, and free software advocate, I'm all in on the FOSS movement!
Shrike Linux Uganda offers different kernels on our distros, mainly three types: LTS Kernel for those who want an extremely stable environment on an Arch-based distro, Rolling Stable for those who want the latest software, and Zen Kernel for those who want a super powerful, game-like experience.
We focus exclusively on free and open-source software, with Linux as our core foundation.
Finds some of our projects on our Repos and also you can check on the other coming projects for more information.
Chat with us and share your thoughts on what you will wish to have in the next versions of our distros on Mastodon or other socials [in the Contacts section] and we will be very happy to have your thoughts.
3 Kernels Power Options
LTS Kernel: Rock-solid stability for servers and workstations
Rolling Stable: Latest software with proven reliability
Zen Kernel: Maximum performance for gaming and power users
