The Development Path
🗺️ Roadmap 2026/2027
VeloxOS development is evolving. We have pivoted our architectural core from standard snapshot models to a fully reproducible, declarative system based on NixOS and Flakes.
Winter 2025/2026 Completed
🚀 Phase 1: Legacy Core & Concept
Arch / Cachy Base Evaluation
- Independent Repository Prototypes
- Performance Profiling & Kernel Synergy Assessments
- Initial Project Branding & Web Presence
📍 Infrastructure baseline completed. Core insights led to the modern declarative shift.
Spring / Summer 2026 In Progress
🎨 Phase 2: The Declarative Pivot
NixOS Core & Flakes Transition
- Custom NixOS Base Profile & System Flakes Blueprint
- Niri Wayland Compositor Integration & Layout Design
- Reproducible Velox-Prompt & Shell Environments via Home-Manager
📍 Milestone: Internal Technical Preview & Configuration Specs
Autumn / Winter 2026 Planned
🛠 Phase 3: Gaming & Ecosystem Modules
Performance Tuning Out-of-the-Box
- Declarative Gaming Modules (Steam, ProtonUp-Qt, Custom Scopes)
- Automated Memory Tuning, ZRAM Allocations & Low-Latency Kernel Toggles
📍 Milestone: Public Release Candidate (GitHub Flake Launch)
Shape the future of VeloxOS
