Scope
Ryoku is built for people who want an expressive Arch workstation instead of spending a day re-wiring everything by hand. Ryoku is not trying to be a lightweight starter kit. It is intentionally tuned for powerful machines where the visual layer and workflow surface are part of the product.Status
Public preview. Signed alpha ISOs are available from the Ryoku website. The preview track isunstable-dev; stable releases are prepared on main. The shell is in a transition from Omarchy inheritance toward a Ryoku-owned plugin shell layer, while keeping installer, command, and runtime behavior coherent.
