BITE-OS — MANIFEST (Step 1 complete · 2026-05-17)

The single source of truth for what BITE-OS is. Everything here must end up in the bite-os package and/or the ISO /etc/skel so a fresh install reproduces the system. Base = CachyOS.

1. Packages

  • Full explicit set: 275 packages → ~/bite-os-distro/packages.x86_64 (raw list, drop straight into the archiso packages.x86_64).
  • Identity/desktop core: hyprland, quickshell-git, sddm, plymouth, caelestia-meta, matugen, awww (rebranded swww), fastfetch, kitty, nwg-dock-hyprland, xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, linux-cachyos(-lts).
  • CachyOS base pkgs to KEEP: cachyos-settings, cachyos-keyring, cachyos-*-mirrorlist, cachyos-hooks.

2. Custom system files (root-owned → go in the bite-os package)

Path What
/usr/local/bin/bite-os-rebrand restores os-release/lsb-release/issue
/usr/local/bin/bite-os-fix-boot HARDENED: boot-entry titles → BITE-OS
/usr/local/bin/bite-os-fix-fastfetch enforces BITE-OS fastfetch logo
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/zz-bite-os-boot.hook runs fix-boot post-update
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/zz-bite-os-branding.hook runs rebrand post-update
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/zz-bite-os-fastfetch.hook runs fix-fastfetch post-update
/usr/share/bite-os/{os-release,lsb-release,issue} branding source files
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/bite-os + glitch-os boot splash themes
/usr/share/sddm/themes/bite-os login theme
/etc/sddm.conf.d/10-bite-os.conf points SDDM at the theme
/etc/os-release, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/issue (copies of /usr/share/bite-os/*)

3. User environment (→ goes in ISO /etc/skel, so every user gets it)

Path What
~/.config/glitch/bin/ rice, dots-switch.sh, bite-os-healthcheck.sh, glitch-update.sh, glitch-power.sh, glitch-fetch.sh, blend-toggle.sh, install-glitch-os-system.sh
~/.config/glitch/{icons,logos,plymouth,templates} brand assets, CREDITS.md
~/.config/hypr + quickshell the active rice config (rice-managed)
~/.config/{matugen,rofi,cava,foot,kitty,fastfetch,...} rice-managed dirs
~/.local/share/bite-os/rices/{caelestia,ilyamiro} the dots vault (both rices)
~/.local/share/bite-os/{splash,vault-src} splash + ilyamiro source
~/.config/systemd/user/bite-os-healthcheck.service first-boot self-repair (must be enabled in skel)

4. Identity

  • os-release: NAME/PRETTY_NAME=BITE-OS, ID=bite-os, codename dedsec, HOME_URL tiktok.com/@glitchbite404, ANSI green.
  • BUILD_ID=rolling → change to a real version 1.0 for the ISO.

5. Bugs/leaks to fix before ISO

  • /etc/hostname is cachyos-x8664 — should be bite-os. (cachyos leak)
  • SDDM/Plymouth .bak-* dirs are cruft — exclude from the package.
  • bite-os-rebrand references /usr/share/bite-os/fastfetch.jsonc which doesn't exist — either add it or drop the line.
  • Decide: ship caelestia-meta (2nd dot) in the ISO, or ilyamiro-only.

Next: Step 2 — wrap sections 2+3 into a bite-os PKGBUILD; sections 1 feeds

the ISO packages.x86_64. See PLAN.md.
