Story & Name
🌟 The Story and Name Behind Snigdha OS
πŸ’‘ The Name
The name Snigdha OS carries a deeply personal significance to its creator, Eshan Roy, widely known as eshanized. As the founder, lead maintainer, and developer of Snigdha OS, Eshan drew inspiration for the name from Mubasshira Snigdha, a figure of immense importance in his life.

Initially, the project was known by its codename "Project N" during the early development phase. However, when the first official release was launched on December 31, 2023, Eshan chose to rebrand it as Snigdha OS to honor Mubasshira Snigdha’s memory.

Eshan, the former CEO of Tonmoy Infrastructure, continues to receive unwavering support from the company. Tonmoy Infrastructure remains a key backer of Snigdha OS, ensuring its development thrives. πŸš€

πŸ’” The Story
Behind the name lies a heartfelt and poignant story. Mubasshira Snigdha, Eshan Roy’s late girlfriend, tragically passed away in 18th June, 2023. Her untimely departure left a profound impact on Eshan, inspiring him to immortalize her memory through his work.

Naming the project Snigdha OS was Eshan’s way of creating a living tribute to herβ€”a meaningful endeavor that would preserve her name and legacy. Through this operating system, her memory continues to inspire users and developers worldwide. πŸ’»πŸ’™

Snigdha OS is not just a technological creationβ€”it’s a testament to love, loss, and the enduring power of remembrance. The operating system embodies a vision for innovation while standing as a beautiful memorial to Mubasshira Snigdha’s impact on Eshan's life.

✨ A Legacy Beyond Code
Snigdha OS represents more than an open-source Linux distribution; it is a bridge between technology and human connection. It’s a project fueled by passion, personal meaning, and the unwavering determination to turn loss into inspiration.

Through Snigdha OS, Mubasshira Snigdha’s name will continue to resonate, not only in Eshan's heart but also in the global community of users who benefit from his work. 🌍

Let Snigdha OS inspire you, not only as a powerful tool but also as a reminder that the stories we carry can shape the world in profound ways. ❀️✨

It probably would help noting more clearly this is a custom built arch based gnu/linux distro somewhere in this article. This becomes immediately clear from the github repo, though.
