Linuxtoys

#LinuxToys

LinuxToys is a collection of user-friendly tools and software distribution platform for Linux systems. It aims to make powerful Linux functionality simple and accessible to all users through an intuitive interface, and enable developers to ship their apps consistently and reliably by giving them control over the installation process of their apps.

#Compatibility

LinuxToys is compatible with the following Linux distributions, provided they are running their latest stable versions:

  • Debian and derivatives (PikaOS, LMDE, Tuxedo, etc.)
  • Ubuntu and derivatives (Ubuntu flavours, Mint, Zorin, etc.)
  • Fedora and derivatives (Nobara, Ultramarine and spins)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux and similars (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, etc.)
  • Arch Linux and derivatives (EndeavourOS, CachyOS, etc.)
  • Manjaro and Big Linux
  • OpenSUSE (Leap, Slowroll and Tumbleweed)
  • Fedora-based Atomic Distributions (Atomic Fedora, Universal Blue images like Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora)
  • Solus
  • Deepin
  • SteamOS

Only x86 computers are supported, as other architectures lack support from most packages that are components of LinuxToys, even though the app itself may run on ARM devices. Support for non-systemd init systems is limited, and some features of the app cannot be offered for them.

#Installation

#Automatic Installation

The simplest way to install LinuxToys is by using the automated installation script. Open your terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://linux.toys/install.sh | bash

This will automatically pick the correct package option for your distribution and install it.

#Manual Installation

If you prefer to review the script before running it, you can download and execute it manually:

curl -fsSLJO https://linux.toys/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

You may also pick the package that suits your system best yourself.

#Official Repositories

LinuxToys is available in several official and community repositories for easier package management.
