open source, made by teenagers

We build open source things. Sometimes they even work.

Lings is a small group of teenagers who learn by making things. Linux projects, websites, small tools, and whatever else sounds fun. Some of it is polished, some of it is an experiment, and the code is public either way.

about

How this started

Lings started when a few of us got tired of only talking about project ideas and decided to build them together instead. Now it's a small group working on Linux projects, websites, and low-level experiments.

There's no big plan. We pick something that seems interesting, figure it out while building it, and try not to give up when the build breaks for the tenth time. Some projects get finished, some stay experiments, and that's fine with us.

What we're working on

Here's what we've got so far. Everything links to a public repo, so go poke around.

Lings Linux

active linux

Our own Arch-based distro, with an installer, branding, and package list we made ourselves. Still early, but it boots and installs.

  • A TUI installer written in bash and whiptail
  • Live ISO built with archiso
  • Custom branding and package picks

Lings Site

active web

You're looking at it. One page for the projects, the team, and the repos, so nobody has to dig through pinned messages to find a link.

Future work

planned experiments

Small tools, OSDev experiments, and other ideas we haven't gotten to yet. No roadmap and no deadlines, just things we want to try.

Who's in Lings

Everyone here is a volunteer who showed up and started building things. Hang around the Discord long enough and you might end up on this list too.

Want to build with us?

You don't need to be an expert or have a portfolio. If you know some programming basics, are willing to learn Git, and can talk through technical stuff in English, that's enough. The rest you'll pick up along the way.
