The inspiration for building Miasma OS is simply that I have done so much hardening to Arch Linux on my desktop, and while all the policies, tools,
+ have made my desktop secure, the usability is still excellent. There is very little tradeoff between security and usability in my configuration.
+ The problem was that I also had to maintain this on other devices such as my laptop. I was wishing that there was a pre-configured desktop that matched all my needs
+ that I could install on a laptop and not have to maintain it with the same time and frequency that I maintain my desktop. I tried other options but did not find anything
+ that checked all the boxes:
+
+
Arch based
+
Immutable so I don't have to worry about it
+
Security focused defaults
+
Modern desktop environments and window managers
+
So the goal was personal but I really do think this is something missing despite all the custom isos out there.

Miasma OS at the end of the day Arch with a bunch of post install scripts, similar to something like Omarchy, but the philosophy and goal of the project is its distinguishing factor.
