Roadmap

The roadmap describes sequence, not promised dates. Each phase requires a documented exit gate.

Phase 1 — Governance & agent environment

Product definition, migration principles, repository boundaries, core profiles, branch protection.

Exit gate: Product vision and core principles documented and approved. Profiles can be installed and validated locally. No secrets in repositories.

Phase 2 — Minimal bootable Developer Preview

• Pinned stable/LTS kernel
• Reproducible kernel configuration
• Minimal bootc system image
• Automated QEMU boot and smoke test
• KDE Plasma, Mesa, and firmware
• Winnux Welcome 0.1 with language and region selection
• English and Swedish
• AMD/Intel variant
• NVIDIA open variant
• Verified rollback

Phase 3 — Product experience

• All Winnux components
• Compatibility databases
• Live hardware testing before installation
• Accessibility and complete localization
• Physical test lab

Stable release

Stable release additionally requires:

• Signed supply chain
• SBOM/provenance
• Incident process
• Broad physical hardware verification
• Human release approval
