The Tebian Manifesto
Sovereignty through minimalism. Power through simplicity.
I. The Law of Zero
Performance is not a feature. It is a prerequisite.
If a process isn't serving the user's immediate goal, it doesn't exist.
Zero bloat. Zero telemetry. Zero friction.
II. One Question
The user should never face choice paralysis.
Twenty questions become one: Desktop? Y/n
Server or Desktop. Everything else is noise.
III. Honest Foundation
Tebian is not a distro. It is a script.
We do not fork. We do not rebrand. We do not pretend.
Debian does the heavy lifting. We provide the interface.
IV. The User is Root
Every config is visible. Every script is readable.
The user owns their system. The system serves the user.
If you can't explain why something exists, it shouldn't.
V. Fractal Sovereignty
One config across all nodes.
Desktop. Server. Raspberry Pi. Phone.
The Fleet is one brain, many bodies.
VI. Survival of the Fittest
We do not kill innovation. We kill redundancy.
Ten distros survive. Two hundred die.
Everything else is just noise.
This is not a product.
This is not a company.
This is one folder. One script. One choice.
Debian. Your way.
