Help make Arkyn better.
Arkyn is closed source while it’s in beta, so everything starts with an email to Arkyn@datsov.com. The source opens at public release.
Most needed
Join the tester programme
Arkyn has been tested in virtual machines and on one real laptop. Every new machine teaches us something. Testers get:
- The beta ISO by private link, with its checksum sent separately.
- A direct line to the people building it.
- Fixes for your hardware in the next release, where we can.
And we ask you to:
- Install on a machine whose disk you can wipe — installing erases it.
- Work through the tester checklist and tell us what passed and what didn’t.
- Keep the download link private.
Found a problem?
Report a bug
Good reports get fixed. Include:
- Version —
cat /etc/os-release - Hardware make and model
- What you did, expected, and saw — step by step
- A photo of the screen if it happened during boot or install
- Logs, if you can —
journalctl -b -p warning
Logs can contain your username, network names and serial numbers. Read them before you send them.
