T2 Linux SDE


Last Update: 2026-02-03 20:20 UTC


T2 Linux SDE is an independently-developed open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit). It enables the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is used, but the project plans an expansion to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD kernels too. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

This automatic build and Linux distribution setup is pretty interesting, but the developer seems super proud of all the esoteric jargon in the installer and the documentation. The installer is a lot like the ones for Slackware or FreeBSD, but those aren't as confusing as T2 SDK to get through.

The documentation has issues too, since it doesn’t have a clear starting point to guide users to what they really care about: setting up the encrypted system and getting the wireless network going. I think the real advantage of this setup is in target compilation and cross-compilation, but honestly, I can handle those tasks manually without any hassle.

If they improved the installer and the documentation, they could definitely attract more users.

It is a good distro especially for developers, may be not for new comers and daily usage for simple work. I appreciate a lot what the developers(s) intended to do, and the work that has been put into this distro. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, please continue your remarkable work. I understand that the number of developers working on the project is limited, hence, there may be some issues creating a user friendly installation tools, but I think it is not the purpose of the project. So, if you want to learn and get into a bit deeper into linux environment then it will be good for you (similar to slackware). I highly recommend if you are a serious developer. Thanks again for creating such a project.
