Features of Linux Larp

Linux LARP features a useless terminal which cannot execute commands, instead it just outputs a fake "hackertyper" like output. Additionally the default Browser is Google Chrome for "Privacy" lol

This is currently a live ISO, not a traditional installable distro. Booting it runs the system from the ISO, USB, or VM. Changes do not persist after reboot.

Download

Download the latest ISO from the Releases page:

linux-larp-1.0-amd64.iso
linux-larp-1.0-amd64.iso.sha256

Then simply put the .iso in a vm and set OS as debian 13 if your vm software asks for that.

To verify the ISO:

sha256sum -c linux-larp-1.0-amd64.iso.sha256
