<h1>About Alfred Linux</h1>
|

<p>A real company, a real product, a real kernel, real checksums. Here's who we are, what we've shipped, and how to verify every claim we make.</p>

<h2>Who Builds Alfred Linux</h2>
|
||
<p>Alfred Linux is developed by <strong><a href="https://gositeme.com">GoSiteMe Inc.</a></strong>, a software company that builds sovereign, privacy-first tools. We are not a hobby project, a weekend fork, or a reskin of Ubuntu with a different wallpaper.</p>
|
||
<p>The project is led by <strong>Danny William Perez</strong> (Commander) — founder of GoSiteMe — with development powered by Alfred, our AI engineering system. Alfred doesn't just chat — it compiles kernels, writes build hooks, hardens security modules, and ships ISOs.</p>

<h3>ISOs Built</h3>
|
||
<p>RC1 through RC8, from Bookworm to Trixie, from kernel 6.1 to kernel 7.0. Every build is tracked in <a href="/releases">release notes</a>.</p>

|
||
<div class="fact-card">
|
||
<div class="value">AGPL-3.0</div>

<!-- ═══ WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ═══ -->
|
||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h2>What Makes Alfred Linux Different</h2>
|
||
<p>Most Linux distros take a base (Debian, Arch, Fedora), change the wallpaper, swap the package manager defaults, and call it a new OS. Alfred Linux is architecturally different:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Custom-compiled kernel 7.0</strong> — we compile Linux 7.0.0-rc7 from Linus Torvalds' mainline tree with our own config. This is not a repackaged distro kernel.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>32 security modules active by default</strong> — not optional packages you install after the fact. AppArmor, auditd, fail2ban, ClamAV, rkhunter, chkrootkit, AIDE, nftables, LUKS2, MAC randomization — all enforced from first boot.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>AI-native applications</strong> — Alfred IDE (VS Code + AI copilot), Alfred Voice (neural TTS + wake word), Alfred Search (Meilisearch) — these are built into the OS, not aftermarket add-ons.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>3 kernel-7-exclusive CPU mitigations</strong> — ITS, TSA, and VMSCAPE are only available in kernel 7.0+. No 6.x-based distro can provide these protections.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Zero telemetry by architecture</strong> — we don't have telemetry code to disable because we never wrote any. Ubuntu ships telemetry you have to opt out of.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Sovereign distribution</strong> — ISOs are distributed via WebTorrent (browser-native P2P), not dependent on any single CDN or mirror network.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||

<!-- ═══ HOW TO VERIFY ═══ -->
|
||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h2>How to Verify We're Legitimate</h2>
|
||
<p>Don't trust us — verify us. Here's exactly how:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="verify-box">
|
||
<h3>1. Download and hash the ISO</h3>
|
||
<code>wget https://alfredlinux.com/downloads/alfred-linux-4.0-rc8-amd64-20260407.iso
|
||
sha256sum alfred-linux-4.0-rc8-amd64-20260407.iso
|
||
# Compare with published hash on /releases</code>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="verify-box">
|
||
<h3>2. Boot it (no install required)</h3>
|
||
<code># Write to USB
|
||
sudo dd if=alfred-linux-4.0-rc8-amd64-20260407.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
|
||
# Or use Ventoy, Rufus, or balenaEtcher
|
||
# Boot → select "Live" → you're in Alfred Linux</code>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="verify-box">
|
||
<h3>3. Verify the kernel</h3>
|
||
<code>uname -r
|
||
# Should show: 7.0.0-rc7-alfred
|
||
|
||
cat /proc/cmdline
|
||
# Should show security params: init_on_alloc=1 pti=on lockdown=integrity ...</code>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="verify-box">
|
||
<h3>4. Verify security modules</h3>
|
||
<code>alfred-security-status # Full security audit
|
||
alfred-network-status # Network hardening status
|
||
alfred-encrypt-status # Disk encryption status
|
||
systemctl status fail2ban # Intrusion prevention
|
||
systemctl status apparmor # Mandatory access control
|
||
systemctl status auditd # Security audit logging</code>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="verify-box">
|
||
<h3>5. Verify applications</h3>
|
||
<code>alfred-ide # Open VS Code IDE in browser
|
||
alfred-info # System information
|
||
meilisearch --version # Search engine
|
||
kokoro --help # Voice TTS engine</code>
