BaldEagleOS

A source-based Linux system for people who want the machine to belong to them: Portage control, OpenRC-first defaults, and repository work that can be inspected.

Portage Per-package control without hiding the build.

OpenRC first Clean service defaults, with room for other init choices.

Stable and rolling Install once, track the release model that fits the machine.

Automated QA Repository changes are checked before they reach users.

What it is

Source builds without pretending the source tree is simple.

BaldEagleOS builds from the Gentoo family of code and packages, then keeps the operator close to the choices that matter: USE flags, compiler behavior, package selection, service management, and update cadence.

The goal is not novelty for its own sake. The goal is a maintainable source distribution with visible mechanics, sane defaults, and enough automation that the project can keep moving without hiding the work.

Trust is operational

The system should show the machinery.

Security checks, CI status, and image generation are part of the product. They are not decoration.

BaldEagleOS quality assurance pipeline status — Package changes move through automated QA before users depend on them.

GLSA vulnerability check result for a BaldEagleOS system — Security checks build on Gentoo GLSA data.

BaldEagleOS installation image generation pipeline — Stage images are generated as part of the release workflow.

Operator path

Start with the docs, then inspect the tree.

BaldEagleOS is for people who read what they run. The short path is install docs, downloads, repository, then your own build decisions.
