SHRIKE LINUX UGANDA

Shrike Linux Uganda builds accessible Linux distributions and champions digital freedom. Spearheaded by Ugandan developer Romans Moses Masiga Saava (root1_shrike)—a dedicated sysadmin and FOSS advocate—we develop and maintain sovereign infrastructure and enterprise-grade Linux distributions.

The Distributions

We focus exclusively on free and open-source software. XFCE serves as the default desktop across our main distributions, while also providing specialized tiling window manager options for power users.
