Alfred Linux

The AI-Native Operating System

Alfred Linux is a complete operating system where AI IS the interface. Voice-first, post-quantum encrypted, token-incentivized, everything-connected. Not a distro with a chatbot — the AI IS the OS.

What's Included

  • Kernel 6.1.0 LTS (Debian stable, hardened)
  • Alfred IDE — code-server 4.114.0 with Commander extension
  • Alfred Voice — Kokoro TTS engine (offline, no cloud)
  • Alfred Search — Meilisearch instant search (offline)
  • Calamares Installer — graphical install to disk
  • Post-quantum cryptography — Kyber-1024 (ML-KEM-1024) ready
  • ClamAV antivirus, UFW firewall, AppArmor MAC
  • Full offline capability — no cloud dependency

Building

# Requires: Debian 12+ host, live-build, root/sudo
cd scripts/
sudo ./build-unified.sh

The build script is self-contained — it generates the complete ISO from a Debian base using live-build with custom hooks.

Build Hooks (executed in order)

  1. Branding — Plymouth splash, wallpaper, GRUB theme, login screen
  2. Browser — Installs Alfred Browser (Chromium fork)
  3. IDE — Installs code-server + Alfred Commander extension
  4. Voice — Installs Kokoro TTS engine + voice models
  5. Search — Installs Meilisearch + prebuilt indexes
  6. Installer — Configures Calamares graphical installer

Critical Boot Fix (discovered RC2→RC3)

Two kernel-naming hooks are required:

  • 9999-fix-kernel-names.hook.chroot — creates generic kernel names in /boot/
  • 9999-fix-kernel-names.hook.binary — creates generic names in binary/live/ after lb copies versioned files

Without both, the ISO boots to a kernel panic. See scripts/build-unified.sh for details.

Build Server

ISOs are built on a dedicated EU build server:

  • 8 cores, 32 GB RAM
  • Debian Bookworm host
  • Isolated build environment (clean chroot each run)
