Jupiter Linux

Jupiter Linux is an operating system based on Arch Linux, with some influence from GuestSneezeOS and winesapOS. It’s designed to be extremely lightweight, taking up around 16 GB of space, and is optimized for gaming. One of its key features is its lower RAM usage compared to Windows, making it an efficient choice for gamers. if you want a detailed guide on how to build Jupiter Linux see the CONTRIBUTING Guide
