+ | Hyperbola follows therefore three simple but clear points: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **KISS:** The shortform for **Keep It Simple and Stupid** means that all parts in Hyperbola' | ||
+ | * **DIY:** The shortform for **Do It Yourself** means that Hyperbola has no interest to deliver and distribute all favorite packages. If users want some part software, they can surely port and package it on their own, sharing also the result for the community and get more feedback for improvals. | ||

+ | ===== What about " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yes, guidance is always an important concept for us. But this only works out positive when both sides are really engaged. So for sure we want to guide, support and offer mentorship. But when we see that the person awaits full-time support, meaning to get only said everything and repeat without learning and questioning, | ||
+ | |||
+ | We think that it is not too much to bother and experiment individual with the own system, developing, changing and surely also experiencing problems. If there is no interest to do exactly this, there is also no real interest within Hyperbola as a system from our point of view. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== What about inclusion of binary packages? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We reject any binary-only packaging. That means we will never accept packages offered only in binary form or based on binary releases done. Hyperbola was, is and will always be a source-based operating-system. | ||

Hyperbola is an independent system, no fork from others. Therefore we also kindly ask not to compare Hyperbola with others in perspectives on offered software for example. Searching for problems and issues is a complete different point, but likewise the comparisons of other projects is most time complicated or not possible the same points also work for Hyperbola. | Hyperbola is an independent system, no fork from others.
