Enum Distribution 

pub enum Distribution {
    Arch,
    Debian,
    Fedora,
    RedHat,
    Alpine,
    NixOS,
    Windows,
    Unknown,
}

Supported distribution families.

Ordering of detection matters: more specific matches (Alpine’s boot/vmlinuz-lts, NixOS’s boot/bzImage, RHEL-family’s images/pxeboot) must run before the broader ones (Arch’s generic boot/ heuristic).

Variants

Arch

Arch Linux install media (arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux).

Debian

Debian and Ubuntu live/install media (casper/, install.amd/, live/).

Fedora

Fedora install media (images/pxeboot/).

RedHat

RHEL / Rocky / AlmaLinux — same images/pxeboot layout as Fedora but a distinct signing CA and stricter lockdown kexec policy.

Alpine

Alpine Linux (boot/vmlinuz-lts).

NixOS

NixOS install media (boot/bzImage).

Windows

Windows installer media. Recognized by bootmgr, sources/boot.wim, or efi/microsoft/boot/. Not kexec-bootable: Windows uses a fundamentally different boot protocol (NT loader, not Linux kernel). Surfaced so the TUI can give a specific diagnostic rather than fail silently.

Unknown

Layout not recognized.

Implementations

impl Distribution

pub fn from_paths(kernel_path: &Path) -> Distribution

Detect distribution from a kernel path observed inside an ISO.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Distribution

fn clone(&self) -> Distribution

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Distribution

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Distribution

fn deserialize<__D>( __deserializer: __D, ) -> Result<Distribution, <__D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for Distribution

fn eq(&self, other: &Distribution) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for Distribution

fn serialize<__S>( &self, __serializer: __S, ) -> Result<<__S as Serializer>::Ok, <__S as Serializer>::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for Distribution

impl Eq for Distribution
