Built Different. By Design.
Every tool in AXEM-SX is crafted with intention — from the first boot to your deepest workflow.
Boh-IO
Bridge Our Humanities with Input & Output
Most terminals are lonely places. Boh-IO changes that — without taking control away from you. It is a “Sidecar” console that pairs a standard Bash shell with a local, civic-minded AI apprentice.
-l shows detailed format.
-a includes hidden files (starting with .)
Meta-Commands
boh explainBreaks down the command you just ran into plain English — no guessing what it did.boh saferSuggests a less risky version of your last command before you regret it.boh teachDelivers a mini-lesson on the tool you are using, with real-world examples.boh undoWrites the corrective command to the Sidecar for you to review — it never executes automatically.boh dry-run onTurns your prompt orange. Destructive commands (like rm) are rewritten to safe equivalents (like ls) so you can test syntax without fear.Privacy Guarantee
- Powered by phi3:mini (3.8B parameters) via local Ollama — no cloud.
- Command history exists only in RAM for the duration of the open window.
- When you close Boh-IO, the entire conversation is wiped. No disk logs.
- The AI NEVER types into your shell — pane separation is absolute.
⚠ Technical Constraints
Boh-IO does not support full-screen TUI applications such as vim, htop, or tmux. These apps require cursor movements that Boh-IO intentionally blocks to keep the history linear and analyzable. Use the standard Konsole terminal for text editing and system monitoring.
The Workshop Tools
Control Hub
The AXEM-SX Control Hub curates and consolidates YaST alongside Cockpit — unlike other distributions that dropped YaST entirely. Workstation governance focused on storage, networking, logs, and users. Access at localhost:9090.
Console AI
Boh-IO — the civic-minded AI Sidecar. Offline, private, pedagogical. Tuned to answer questions about AXEM-SX and Linux — not to generate creative fiction.
Soft Depot
A curated software hub built for AXEM-SX. Discover, install, and manage applications with precision — no unnecessary dependencies, no noise.
