Ānanda Āropa (/ɑːˈnʌndə/ /ɑː.ɾɐw.pɐ/) or aaropa is BlissLabs' latest attempt in improving the installer & initrd for BlissOS, with some of additional features & improvements over the original Android-x86 console installer.
This repo produces build image with full dependencies, capable of building Linux packages and Android
The rootfs also include programs such as:
- JWM for the desktop
- PCManFM-Qt for file manager
- QTerminal for terminal
- GParted for disks & partitions management
- L3afpad for text editor
- GPicView for photo viewer
- GSmartControl for drive health monitor

As of right now, aaropa only supports x86_64.
Beside this main repo, aaropa is also made of several other repos including:
-
This repo contains patches & modules for Calamares which will be built into .deb file
-
This repo contains the Grub2 theme that we're using which will be built into .deb file
-
This repo contains
busyboxprogram that is on initrd, it will also be built into .deb file

# Do your stuff
Ānanda & Āropa combines the Sanskrit words "Ananda" (bliss) and "Aropa" (imposing or placing upon), creating a phrase that means "blissful installation" or "blissful startup."
- Android-x86 for the original initrd & installer in
newinstaller. - Devuan for a linux distro that doesn't use systemd. We built
aaropaon top of Devuan. - All the programs that are listed above. Without these programs, we couldn't be able to achieve something like this.
