Akira Linux – Niri-based rolling-release Linux distribution

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 16, 2026

Quoting: Akira Linux - Niri-based rolling-release Linux distribution - LinuxLinks —

The distribution is aimed at users who favour a keyboard-driven, console-oriented environment rather than a conventional desktop. Its main edition centres on the Niri scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor, with the system preconfigured to provide a cohesive environment without requiring users to assemble their own Void-based setup.

Akira takes a systemd-free approach and supplements the Vostok foundation with its own package repository, configuration and desktop customisation.

This is free and open source software.
