Obscura OS: A Debian Linux distribution that runs I2P out of the box

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a small side project called Obscura OS – a Linux distribution designed to run I2P (The Invisible Internet Project) with minimal setup.

What it does:

  • Boots directly into an environment where I2P is pre-installed and ready to use
  • Aims to be lightweight and low-resource (ideal for old hardware or VMs)
  • Currently a proof-of-concept – I want to see if there's interest before adding more features

GitHub link: https://github.com/andytherbg/obscura-os

I'm looking for feedback on:

  1. Did it boot successfully for you? (hardware/drivers issues?)
  2. Is I2P working out of the box, or did you need extra configuration?
  3. What features would you want in a distro like this? (Tor integration? VPN support? Tails-like persistence?)
  4. Any obvious security holes I've missed?

Known limitations:

  • Early alpha – expect rough edges
  • Only tested on [mention what you tested on: VirtualBox? specific hardware?]
  • No persistence yet (if that's the case)

Be brutal but constructive. I'd rather hear problems now than pretend it's perfect.

Thanks for taking a look.
