Linux, made  

Approachable. Meaningful. Human-centric.
Without weakening the power of Linux itself.

About Setbian

Setbian began as a Debian setup tool and evolved into something larger: a community-driven ecosystem where discovery, installation, contribution, and learning come together.

My focus is not only on software installation — but on developer collaboration, transparency, licensing clarity, and emotional connection with open-source culture.

"Setbian exists for people who build, explore, share, and grow inside the Linux world."

Core Goals

  • 1 Make the Linux experience approachable.
  • 2 Preserve the power and flexibility of Debian.
  • 3 Foster a transparent, developer-friendly ecosystem.
