Welcome to the Cambria wiki!

In this Wiki you will learn some things such as the installation process and some more advanced setup!

What is Cambria Linux?

Cambria Linux is a fast and easy installer for Gentoo. The project aims to be a descendant of Orchid Linux. The idea behind the project was picked up from Orchid.

Our idea is the same as Orchid's one: we want to deliver a fast and efficient install of Gentoo, with a pre-installed DE, some home-made tools and some apps corresponding to the user's needs.

Important note: Cambria is NOT for beginners users as it is a "vanilla" Gentoo inside! So you will need to learn who to use and maintain Gentoo Linux before using this distribution.

Cambria's characteristics:

  • In the same way Orchid did, we don't define us as a whole OS but more as a Gentoo "rice".

  • We mostly focus on advanced users, even if our tools are here to make the install and maintenance of the distro easier than Gentoo.

  • All Gentoo packages are available and FLATPAK support is enable by default.

  • By default, the kernel is the gentoo-kernel-bin, which follows the LTS channel of Linux. Other kernels will be proposed after the install.

  • We deliver the GNOME and KDE desktop environments. Other desktop environments will probably be added in the future, as well as other more specific stages.
