.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm Crystal Linux
.Op crystal
.Ar arch based
.Ar easy to use
.Ar linux distro
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an arch based linux distro with it's own installer and package manager
.Sh Goals
.Nm
tries to bring modern linux technologies to the average users while still being
easy to use

.Sh Package Management
.Nm
uses a pacman wrapper called \fBame\fP to install, remove, updated and search
packages, however users are still able to use pacman directly.


\fBame\fP is written in rust and is particularly fast with aur packages since it
builds multiple aur packages at once.


.Nm
also comes preinstalled with flatpak.

.Sh Installing
.Nm
installs like any other Distribution, you boot the live iso and launch the Installer.

The installer, \fBJade\fR \fBGUI\fR is a custom written installer that uses
libadwaita and gtk4 for the frontend, and the \fBjade\fR as the backend.


Once the user boots into crystal for the first time, they are greeted with a
first setup application that allows them to set up Flatpak, install nvidia drivers
and change the color scheme.

.Sh Desktop
.Nm
by defaul tuses \fBOnyx\fR, a custom gnome session with extra extensions to make
the experience more familiar with other desktops or operating systems.

If the User does not want to use \fBOnyx\fR, they can simly select a different 
Desktop or Window Manager in \fBJade\fR \fBGUI\fR.
These Desktops and Window Managers include vanilla GNOME, KDE, i3 and sway.
