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

I'm looking for feedback on:
- Did it boot successfully for you? (hardware/drivers issues?)
- Is I2P working out of the box, or did you need extra configuration?
- What features would you want in a distro like this? (Tor integration? VPN support? Tails-like persistence?)
- 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.
