Smech Labs

An independent software lab building its own tools, end to end.

What Smech Labs Is

Smech Labs is the organization behind SmechOS and its surrounding tooling. The work here favors building things from the ground up -- an independent operating system, its own package manager, its own installer -- over assembling existing components and calling it finished.

Projects

SmechOS

An independent Linux distribution with its own custom build system, the spk package manager, and a KDE Plasma 6 desktop.

SmechDeploy

The build tooling and source behind SmechOS -- kernel compilation, the installer, package builds, and everything in between.

spk

SmechOS's own package manager, built for this distro specifically rather than adapted from another one.

SmechVisor

A sovereign bare-metal hypervisor OS built on a stripped-down SmechOS base -- direct KVM access via cloud-hypervisor, OpenRC only, and a web control plane for managing VMs and PCIe passthrough.
