It was created, and is currently being maintained by, a group of programmers from Latgale region of Latvia. As of August 2018, the latest official release of Austrumi Linux is 3.8.4. The entire operating system and all the applications run from RAM,[2] making AUSTRUMI faster than larger distros that must read from a disk, and allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has booted.

gollark: > if you can convince them that their suffering benefits other people, then they'll happily submit to itI am not convinced that this is actually true of people, given any instance of "selfishness" etc. ever.

gollark: Ignore them, they are clearly the government.
