π BashCore is spreading: 10 downloads this week from every corner of the globe! π
*** Both CLI & GUI builds on Debian 13 Trixie have been available in non-stable form, but this week Iβm replacing them with fresh stable builds, released just 3 days ago (Aug 9). ***
Minimalism goes global, now with LTS power! π
π GrapheneOS isnβt just de-Googled β itβs de-risked.
π± Built on AOSP, hardened with custom memory safety, exec protections, and zero default Google spyware.
Why it matters?
β No telemetry.
β No app hijack.
β No location leaks.
β Sandboxed Play Services (if you choose to install it).
π§ You control every layer β from bootloader to baseband.
Privacy isnβt a feature. Itβs the foundation.

151 downloads worldwide since launch: CLI, GUI, and even the unstable Trixie builds.
We hope those who tried BashCore found it useful.
Maybe someone really used it. Maybe more than one.

Running a custom stress test on several distros.
Not CPU burn, pure OS torment: forks, files, mounts, chaos.
BashCoreX and Parrot survived. Respect.
Others? Still on the torture rack.
No mercy, no GUI, just init, I/O and system calls.
Letβs see who breaks first.
Booted BashCoreX live on my MSI i7 Katana from a 32GB USB stick using Ventoy (with other ISOs on it).
Still got 15.1 GB of usable space on the live system π³
Running with 16 cores, OS using less than 1GB of RAM.
Itβs fast, clean, and lightweight. I'm honestly impressed.
Minimalist OS, max efficiency. πͺ
