PantherX is designed to enable everyone without a PHD in computer science to enjoy a fast, flexible and private work & entertainment platform that runs for years, with little intervention.

It's kind of like docker-compose, but for your whole system.

  • Always up to date, with rolling updates
  • No system breakage after major updates (1)
  • Easy replication of your whole system, or individual user profiles
  • No more random config files,
  • Developer's dream, with virtual environments and 1st class docker support

(1) Never say always; If things go wrong, you can roll-back instantly to any previous system state.
