SentinelOS manuals

Complete guidance for conversion, daily use, administration and AEGIS.

The manuals are organised by task. Begin with the Public Conversion Manual when building a machine, use the SentinelOS System Manual for maintenance, open the Desktop Suite Manual for application workflows, and use the AEGIS Manual only when the optional public suite is installed.

How to read commands

Use exact commands only where they are shown in code blocks.

Commands in these manuals are grounded in the current converter package v1.0.18-2, embedded engine v1.0.18-final and package contracts. Replace placeholders such as USERNAME with the real account name. Graphical applications should normally be launched without administrator privileges.

command -v sentinel-notes
apt-cache policy sentinel-notes
dpkg-query -W sentinel-notes

Authority order: the installed command's help output and package-owned documentation are authoritative for that installed build. The website explains the accepted public baseline and safe operating workflow.
