PixelGen OS: A Docker-Optimized Gentoo Linux Distribution

PixelGen OS is a Gentoo Linux-based operating system designed for advanced users who want maximum performance and customization in containerized environments. It leverages Gentoo’s source-based package management within Docker containers, providing flexible, optimized builds for specialized workloads.

Key Features:

  • Gentoo-Based: Built on Gentoo Linux for deep system customization.
  • Source-Based Compilation: Compile packages with your preferred CFLAGS, USE flags, and optimization settings.
  • Docker-Optimized: Designed for consistent container deployments while keeping Gentoo’s flexibility.
  • Portage Package Manager: Uses Portage (emerge) for fine-grained dependency and build control.
  • Pacaptr Compatibility Layer: Includes pacaptr for yay/pacman-style command aliases to ease transitions.
  • Performance-Focused: Ships with an opinionated make.conf you can tune for your target hardware.

Getting Started

​

1. Create a docker-compose.yaml

services:
  pixelgen-os:
    image: lunamidori5/pixelgen
    tty: true
    restart: always
    privileged: true
    command: ["sleep", "infinity"]

2. Start the container in detached mode

docker compose up -d

3. Access the container shell

docker compose exec pixelgen-os /bin/bash

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/lunamidori5/Midori-AI-Pixelarch-OS.git

2. Build the PixelGen image

cd Midori-AI-Pixelarch-OS/pixelgen_os
docker build -t pixelgen -f gentoo_dockerfile .

3. Run the image

docker run -it --rm pixelgen /bin/bash

Package Management

Use the yay package manager to install and update software:

yay -Syu <package_name>

Example:

yay -Syu vim

This will install or update the vim text editor.

  • Replace <package_name> with the actual name of the package you want to install or update.
  • The -Syu flag performs a full system update, including package updates and dependencies.
