<p>Keru is a Linux distribution — but "Linux" is a family, and the kernel is genuinely a choice: freshness vs stability, hardening vs performance, general-purpose vs tuned. Keru ships the choice, not the verdict.</p>

<h3>A choice, within a family</h3>
|
|
<p>To be clear about the scope: the freedom here is <em>within</em> Linux — which Linux kernel, not whether to leave the family. Keru composes everything above the kernel however you like; the kernel itself has a well-tested set of variants to pick from. <a href="anti-opinionated.html">More on what Keru's freedom does and doesn't cover.</a></p>

|
|
|
<h3>Baked in, not bolted on</h3>
|
|
<p>Stage 2 of the build compiles the exact kernel you chose and wires your init to boot it. The kernel, the init, and everything else is one coherent profile — nothing prebaked, nothing to fight.</p>

<div class="callout">linux-lts for "set it and forget it," linux for the mainstream, hardened/zen/cachyos for the tradeoffs you actually want. Your call.</div>
