V-Core Linux V-Core is a lightweight Linux distribution project focused on providing a clean, modern, customizable, and developer-oriented desktop environment while maintaining compatibility with the existing Linux ecosystem. This ISO is an experimental test build of V-Core intended for testing, development, feedback, and experimentation. It is not considered a production-ready release. Features Lightweight desktop environment with the V-Core ecosystem V-E desktop interface V-Panel V-Launcher application menu V-Settings V-Widgets V-Terminal V-Core system utilities VPM package manager Support for traditional Linux packages and applications Flatpak integration APT compatibility GitHub-based VPM package installation Custom V-Core branding and system identity Developer-oriented environment Customizable desktop appearance Boot and system recovery utilities Kernel, initramfs, and boot validation QEMU and virtual-machine testing support VPM V-Core includes its own package management frontend called VPM . VPM is designed to provide a unified interface for different software sources, including: V-Core packages APT packages Flatpak applications GitHub-based V-Core packages Example: sudo vpm install github:user:repository V-Core Package Format V-Core packages can use a manifest.pack file to describe application metadata and an application entry point such as package.v . Example structure: Application/ ├── app/ │ ├── package.v │ └── assets/ └── manifest.pack Testing This ISO is published for testing purposes. Testing may include: ISO boot UEFI boot BIOS/QEMU boot where supported Live environment Kernel and initramfs validation GRUB configuration V-E desktop startup VPM functionality Application launching Hardware compatibility Memory and CPU usage Package installation and removal Recovery functionality Actual test coverage may vary depending on the hardware or virtualization environment used. Important This is an experimental development build. It may contain: Bugs Incomplete features Performance issues Hardware compatibility issues UI inconsistencies Package management issues Boot problems Do not use this build as the only operating system on a production machine or on important data. Testing in QEMU or another virtual machine is recommended. Project Status V-Core is an actively developed project. Features, system components, package formats, desktop components, and internal architecture may change between builds. Feedback, bug reports, testing results, and technical contributions are welcome. Build Information Project: V-Core Linux Build type: Experimental / Test ISO Architecture: x86_64 Purpose: Development, testing, experimentation, and feedback This archive contains an ISO image for testing the current V-Core build.
