| About CuerdOS
|
| CuerdOS is a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution with focus on stability, efficiency and performance. It comes with a series of optimisations, such as performance and memory consumption improvements. These optimisations are achieved through kernel patching and the Ananicy daemon, the latter of which manages input/output and CPU priorities. The distribution's "Standard" product uses Wayland's Sway compositor by default, but separate "Legacy" and "Community" builds with Budgie, Cinnamon, LXQt, MATE and Xfce desktops are also available.
