AIMS OS — a Debian 13 GNU/Linux distribution built at AIMS Senegal (GNOME desktop, scientific stack, fr/en bilingual) # AIMS OS **A Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution built at AIMS Senegal.** AIMS OS is a custom GNU/Linux distribution for the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Senegal. Version 2.1 ships a slim live ISO: a GNOME desktop, the Calamares installer, and the scientific baseline every AIMS student uses (Jupyter, the SciPy ecosystem, R, a French TeX Live), bilingual French and English out of the box, on a clean Debian 13 (Trixie) base. The heavier layers (full TeX Live, Octave, Maxima, TeXstudio, the Coop track toolchains) install on demand from the AIMS apt repository, which the ISO preconfigures, either through the first-boot wizard or a plain `apt install`. SageMath is install-on-demand via Miniforge (`mamba install -c conda-forge sagemath`) since upstream has not yet packaged it for Python 3.13. --- ## Quick facts | | | |---|---| | Codename | AIMS OS | | Version | 2.1 | | Base | Debian 13 (Trixie) | | Desktop | GNOME 48 | | Installer | Calamares 3.3 | | Architectures | amd64, arm64 | | Locales | fr_FR.UTF-8 (default), en_US.UTF-8 | | Timezone | Africa/Dakar | | Apt repo | a-i-m-s-senegal.github.io | | Maintainer | AIMS Senegal IT | | Upstream | github.com | | Status | v2.1.0 (Trixie, slim) released; development on `main` | ## Repository layout ``` aims_os/ ├── .github/ # CI: ISO builds, boot tests, apt repo + docs publishing ├── docker/ # build container (live-build inside privileged Debian) ├── build/ # live-build config + host-side build wrapper ├── metapackages/ # 12 metapackages defining the distro package set │ ├── aims-os-core/ # base system, security, locales, build tools │ ├── aims-os-desktop/ # slim GNOME, Calamares, Firefox, LibreOffice fr │ ├── aims-os-math/ # slim scientific stack: SciPy, Jupyter, R, TeX fr │ ├── aims-os-branding/ # plymouth, grub, wallpapers, theming (ISO only) │ ├── aims-os-welcome/ …
