**LinuxAI** is a high-performance, privacy-first Linux distribution engineered for **agentic computing** and **AI-augmented workflows**. Developed by **rolodexterLABS**, LinuxAI comes with a fully integrated local intelligence stack — including foundational models, narrow tools, and embedded rolodexter agents.
This is not just a Linux distro with AI tacked on — it is an **AI-native operating system**, designed from the kernel up for developers, researchers, and creators who work with — and through — artificial intelligence.

## Core Design Principles
- 🧠 **Agents First**: Built to natively support rolodexter-class agents as system-level entities.
- ⚡ **Performance-Tuned**: Optimized kernel flags, swap configs, GPU acceleration, and I/O handling.
- 🔒 **Privacy by Default**: All inference and agent memory operate locally — cloud access is opt-in.
- 🧰 **Full Toolchain**: Comes preloaded with a developer's dream stack + AI-enhanced shells, editors, and runners.
- 🧬 **Modular AI Architecture**: Swap out models, customize inference engines, or rebuild from source.
