Free and open source software is at the heart of Cob:web-Aclevo, and so we are going to ensure that all of the packages, scripts and tools provided pre and post installation are open source, free and findable. CelOS is licensed under the GPL3 license so you can copy, re-create, redistribute and contribute to CelOS!
CelOS, at it's fundementals, is very heavily based on Ubuntu, we will be using a large majority of Ubuntu's packages unless we have specified whether or not we have removed, replaced, modified or added new packages (and their dependancies).
We are using the same Kernel that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS uses. People on older builds can still receive Kernel updates through upstream and so we will try to ensure that this is kept up-to-date.

/etc/skel/ is a directory where items will be placed in your "home" directory post install
.bashrc -> /etc/skel
gnome-initial-setup-done -> /etc/skel/.config/
Wallpapers have been placed in -> /etc/skel/Pictures/ (~/Pictures)
Wallpapers have been placed in both /usr/share/backgrounds and ~/Pictures/
You can find the folder for our Wallpapers in the repository.
We are using the default GTK and Shell theme for GNOME, "Adwaita" https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/tree/master/gtk/theme/Adwaita
We are using the "Adwaita icon theme" icon theme https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme
We are using a modified version of the Weyll-logo theme, which can be found on our GitHub
Original theme: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1000034/
Once this theme has been placed in /usr/share/plymouth you need to run some commands to update initramfs;
update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/weyll-logo/weyll-logo.plymouth 200
update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/weyll-logo/weyll-logo.plymouth
update-initramfs -u
update-grub
apt update && apt upgrade
We have modified Ubiquity to display text and images for CelOS rather than Ubuntu. The files we have used are here:
https://github.com/Cobweb-Development/celos/tree/main/Assets/ubiquity-slideshow - /usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow/
/usr/share/ubuiqity-slideshow/ was given 777 permissions during this stage and removed after we have changed the files within /usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow/
We have modified the file in "/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10-ubuntu-settings.gschema.override" in order for our Adwaita Icons, Wallpaper, and Adwaita-dark shell theme to apply by default.
The Grub has been modified to say "CelOS 1 GNU/Linux", the "grub" folder in "Assets" has two files related to modifying grub.
The file called "grub" should be placed in /etc/default
The file called custom.cfg should be placed in /boot/grub
Along with this ubuntu.seed and grub.cfg were edited in the "seed" and "grub" pages of the Cubic editor.
The plymouth theme and GDM logo have been modified
/etc/os-release and /etc/lsb-release has been modified.
GDM was modified by using the default theme, to change it run update-alternatives --config gdm3-theme.gresource
A one-time startup script in the "Assets" folder called "apply-theme.sh" has been placed in /etc/profile.d/
If you are on an Ubuntu-based distribution we can recommend Cubic as a live-ISO editor, and what we are currently using to create the distribution via a chroot environment. https://launchpad.net/cubic
