Latest change 75ff8a6e705d884a26ccfc0ee7a82c18ae55c658 - Initial BifrOSt-Web import by Ólafur Búi Ólafsson

# Product

## Platform

web

## Stack

Dioxus 0.7 web application in Rust, selected by the user.

## Users

Linux users evaluating a practical daily-driver workstation, especially Icelandic speakers and developers who want Arch Linux with a guided graphical installation and curated defaults.

## Product Purpose

Present BifrOSt clearly, let visitors understand its Icelandic-first Arch foundation and COSMIC desktop, and direct them to the latest published release, installation safety guidance, and source repository.

## Positioning

BifrOSt keeps Arch Linux's official kernel, pacman, repositories, and rolling-release model while adding Icelandic defaults, COSMIC, optional developer profiles, original visual identity, and a safety-focused whole-disk installer.

## Operating Context

Visitors compare the live desktop, installer, hardware requirements, release status, and download-verification workflow before writing an ISO to USB and booting on x86_64 UEFI hardware.

## Capabilities and Constraints

- The latest published release is v0.2.0; the 0.2.1 source line is unreleased and must not be presented as downloadable.
- Installation is whole-disk only and erases the selected target. There is no dual-boot or manual partitioning path.
- Secure Boot is unsupported in 0.2 and must be disabled.
- Normal installation is online from signed official Arch repositories.
- BifrOSt offers Icelandic and English installer messaging, optional LUKS2 encryption, COSMIC, and optional Rust, container, web, and Python developer profiles.
- BifrOSt is independent and is not an official Arch Linux or System76 product.

## Brand Commitments

Use the BifrOSt name, geometric basalt shield and luminous bridge mark, aurora/glacier/basalt/longship artwork, and the phrase “Íslenskt · frjálst · byggt á Arch Linux.” Preserve the existing cool dark navy, glacial cyan, aurora mint/violet, and restrained amber identity.

## Evidence on Hand

- Product facts and release boundaries: `../BifrOSt/README.md`
- Safety and installation guidance: `../BifrOSt/docs/`
- Brand mark: `../BifrOSt/profile/airootfs/usr/share/bifrost/branding/bifrost-mark.svg`
- Wallpaper and real product screenshots: `../BifrOSt/screenshots/`
- First-party application status: `../BifrOSt-Apps/README.md`
- No testimonials, customer counts, performance benchmarks, or physical-hardware qualification claims are available and none may be fabricated.

## Product Principles

- State release and installation risks exactly.
- Let real product imagery prove the desktop experience.
- Keep the route from evaluation to verification and download obvious.
- Lead with Icelandic identity without excluding English-language visitors.
- Preserve upstream truth: Arch Linux and COSMIC remain distinct projects.

## Accessibility & Inclusion

The homepage must be keyboard navigable, responsive, motion-safe under `prefers-reduced-motion`, and readable with WCAG AA contrast. Product copy should preserve Icelandic diacritics and provide clear English explanations for critical installation constraints.
