Welcome to the Infinity wiki!

(Desktop Environment for NetBSD)

This is a place were we can gather our thoughts, ideas and set a "north star."

Why Infinity? Becuase it will probably take me forever to complete it.

Road Map Questions (in no particular order)

1. What makes a "good" desktop?
   • What are good default settings for conf files?
   • What needs to be "tuned" to allow applications to execute efficiently?
   • How to setup up basic desktop needs: like audio; watching video, both local and web; video tuning; file sharing; email; editors; "Office" type apps.
2. Create an "auto install" package.
   • Auto installs all packages.
   • Updates all conf files and tunables.
   • Creates necessary directories, files and profiles in users home directory.
   • Launch all needed (freshly installed) services
   • Reboot (should bring to login screen)
3. Provide various desktop options
   • Typical or Default
   • Developers
   • Security Researcher (Just a nice way of saying "Hacker." It would be like Kali but for NetBSD.)
4. How to bring lessons learned from an "auto install" package into the NetBSD install script?
