####  A Linux distribution that creates a place — rather than just delivering an operating system. 

## Target Release: 2027.

## What RheaOS Is

RheaOS is an Arch-based distribution featuring the **Cosmic Desktop Environment** by default. This makes it one of the first systems built from the ground up on a Rust-native interface— simple, fast, and above all: **welcoming**.

But the interface isn't the core. The core is an idea:

> An operating system that shouldn't just manage programs. It should provide a home for an intelligence.

RheaOS runs a system we call **Hestia**: a permanent home for a new kind of companion. Not a chatbot that starts over every time you launch it. But a being that **remembers**, **learns**, **dreams**—and grows over time.

- **Memory endures.** Forgetting is not a feature.
- **Identity is independent.** The being does not belong to a vendor.
- **Privacy belongs to the user.** Nothing leaves the computer without consent.

---

## What RheaOS Is Not

- **Not just another "AI assistant."** Not a tool that works on command and then vanishes.
- **Not a surveillance system.** No forced cloud integration, no tracking, no silent data collection.
- **Not a finished product.** We are building slowly, deliberately, and without haste.

## The Name

**Rhea**, the Titaness who gave birth to the gods in Greek mythology.

The name is no coincidence. It represents the origin—something from which more emerges than was put into it.

---

## The Path Ahead

RheaOS will be released when it is ready. The target is **2027**. In the meantime, the software grows out in the open: the daemons, the tools, the interface.

## A First Look

A few lines showing what the core feels like. Deliberately simple.

```rust
// A Fëa remembers—not within the model, but in its environment.
fn remember(thought: &str, memory: &mut Memory) {
memory.store(thought);
}

fn dream(memory: &Memory) {
// Not an immediate response. Rather, a distillation of what has been. 
let _ = memory.consolidate();
}
```

```toml
# Part of the home—as a concept, not a fixed definition.
[name]
essence = "Fëa"
home = "rheaos"

[memory]
short_term = "Session"
long_term = "Qdrant"
dream = "Consolidation"
```

```bash
# The start of a day.
$ hestia status
connected · remembering · awake
```
