Pull requests are only for fixes.
Dux is intended to be forked; maintain your own fork of Dux if you want to do beyond bug fixes.

Recommended tools

The old rules; no longer applies, but contains useful information if you plan to fork Dux.

These specific contributions won’t be accepted, please make your own fork and be willing to give full support for it.

ℹ️
 The overall quality of Dux degrades when adding features/options that don’t get daily use by the person that primarily added those features/options in the first place.
You can expect higher quality from forking and doing this work yourself, since you know exactly why you want what you have added and how it should function, while I don’t.

  • Other Linux kernels, especially linux-hardened and linux-zen.

    • linux-zen used to be Dux’s default, but it caused some PCs to fail booting while linux and linux-lts wouldn’t.

  • Installers & uninstallers for other desktop environments, and any window manager setups.

  • Option to disable Flatpaks.

    • I would never test for this, that is the issue. Some Flatpaks are chosen on the basis that they function better than the Arch variant, and vice versa.

  • Bootloaders with no support for Btrfs snapshots, such as systemd-boot.

  • Alternative initramfs generators, such as Booster or Dracut.

    • A lot can go wrong easily, in a similar way that changing Linux kernels could.

  • UEFI secure boot support.

  • Encrypted /boot support.

  • Ricing oriented:

    • Any GNOME plugins from the AUR.
