Why BunkerOS?

Transparent Configuration

All configuration files are symlinked to the git repository. See exactly what BunkerOS modifies, audit changes, and maintain full control over your system with standard Arch tools.

✦

Intelligent Autotiling

Sway window manager with smart autotiling adapts to your workflow. Keyboard-driven navigation with tmux multiplexer integration for seamless, distraction-free productivity.

Curated Toolkit

Professional-grade tools out of the box. Five custom themes, multi-monitor support with HiDPI scaling, MacBook-quality touchpad gestures, and video conferencing ready.

Keep Full Control

Standard packaging with pacman and yay exclusively. No custom package managers, auditable changes, and easy updates with git pull. Remove symlinks anytime to return to vanilla Arch.
