About Us

Argent Linux is a Gentoo-based Linux Distribution

Our group envisions the development of linux distributions based on Gentoo, projects called Argent Workstation and Argent Server.

Argent Linux is a using systemd, and currently its packages are mostly development oriented. Gentoo does not provide precompiled packages for systemd, so Argent Linux covers this gap in a very stable manner.

Argent Linux is essentially using semi-rolling release model, with a stable branch and a dev (testing) branch, with over 10 years of constant development.

We use EPKG as its package manager, a highly simplistic wrapper over portage, specially designed for precomiled binaries.

Argent was originally part of Rogentos Linux Group as the server and workstation branch of the bigger project, now it is a separate project.
