A fully free, stable, secure, simple, lightweight and long-term support distribution

You've reached the website for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre operating system. The Hyperbola Project is a community driven effort to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, secure, simple, lightweight that tries to Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) under a Long Term Support (LTS) way.

Hyperbola is an independent, free and libre system built from scratch using the package-management from Arch GNU/Linux and especially patchsets for security from Debian providing packages that meet the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG). Packages are provided for the i686 and x86_64 architectures.

Our final goal is to provide a full new BSD descendant operating-system named HyperbolaBSD.

Our community is friendly and helpful. Please hop on IRC channel and check out our forums to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Hyperbola.

Living in times of technical feudalism

2024-08-21

In the perspective of Hyperbola as project we are living in times of technical feudalism, a very dangerous development as free, libre software is part of pragmatism and misusage of people, their data and essential information. Hyperbola as project and system is opposing that for sure.

Hello dear interested travelers in the outer rim,

another month is now starting and therefore we take this opportunity to report what was and is going on for Hyperbola as project in the past month.

Works on HyperbolaBSD

Coadde has concluded the analysis for binutils and gcc: In fact the original implementation of our HyperBK uses backported assembler-instructions. So the conclusion is making it now possible also that we review the needed code for our implementation and needed backporting. With this we have now a good base for a near first working pre-alpha version of HyperbolaBSD as full BSD-descendant operating-system ...

Hyperbola's stance on Commercialization

2024-06-19

Hello dear explorers, we have added another article in our wiki informing about Hyperbola's stance towards commercialization. Short bound said: Yes, Hyperbola as system-project can be used out of commercial interests as this is part of a free decision. But Hyperbola itself will never accept pure commercialization. Our stance is and stays technical emancipation and enabling users, motivating everyone interested to be developer, user or further administrator. It is the individual decision, but with care for freedom, pricacy and security.

Hyperbola stays true for code and data generated by people for people

2024-06-06

We have added another ruleset regarding code / data generated through machine-learning as the Hyperbola-project will always stay true towards data and code generated from people for people. Therefore we reject and do not allow code, imagery and / or texts generated through machine learning to be used direct and / or indirect for Hyperbola and its development.
