Linux engineers
Arch / Omarchy packagers, systemd, kernel hardening, SELinux/AppArmor profiles, secure boot, reproducible builds.
Help us build Quantum Linux.
QuantumUnix is a community-led proof of concept. There is no marketing department — every line of policy, every signed package and every pilot is built by people who want a Unix-style Linux that respects them and survives the post-quantum transition. If that sounds like your kind of project, we want you on the team.
Who we are looking for
02
Cryptographers & PQ researchers
Hybrid TLS/SSH stacks, ML-KEM / ML-DSA / SLH-DSA integration, crypto-agility audits, formal review of policy defaults.
03
Security & privacy people
Threat modeling, hardened browser baselines, DNS / network defaults, pen-testing, vulnerability disclosure.
04
Hyprland & UX
Keyboard-first workflow, Org-mode-inspired theming, accessibility defaults, documentation that respects readers.
05
Pilot organizations
Public bodies, NGOs, research labs and small enterprises ready to run QuantumUnix on a real fleet and feed back what breaks.
06
Writers & translators
Plain-English specs, threat-model notes, manuals in additional EU languages, screencasts and tutorials.
Three ways to start contributing today
1. Pick a "good first issue"
The repository tags small, scoped tasks with good-first-issue. They are the fastest path from "I'd like to help" to a merged commit.
2. Run the PoC and report
Install QuantumUnix on a spare machine using the install manual. File issues for anything that surprises you — friction reports are gold.
3. Propose a module
Got a hardening idea, a PQ migration plan, or a use case we missed? Open a discussion and outline the threat model and the trade-offs. We prefer boring, reviewable proposals.
4. Run a pilot
If your team can run QuantumUnix on 5–50 workstations, we'll co-write the case study and feed your needs back into the spec.
How we work
- Public by default. Design notes, threat models and policy decisions live in the repository, not in private chats.
- Boring security. We prefer well-understood controls over novel cryptography. Anything new ships behind a profile flag and a clear opt-in.
- Hybrid-first PQ. Until standards mature on both sides of every connection, default profiles stay hybrid.
- Code of conduct. Be useful, be specific, be kind. Personal attacks and bad-faith debate are not tolerated.
- License. Contributions are accepted under an OSI-approved license, recorded in the repository.
