OrielOS is a free and open-source Linux desktop for PCs with NVIDIA RTX graphics. Coming from Windows? The taskbar, Start menu, keyboard shortcuts and Settings are where you expect them.
In early development. Nothing to download yet.
A centred taskbar, a Start menu with search and pinned apps, a Settings app organised by task, and the keyboard shortcuts you know from Windows.
Win+E Win+V Ctrl+Shift+Esc
Native Linux games, and Windows games through Proton with GE-Proton as the default. Performance is measured against Windows on the same PC, and the results are published.
Code editors such as VS Code, AI coding tools and containers for your toolchains, with a proper terminal whenever you want one.
Installing apps, updating, changing settings and running games all work without typing a command, and Windows programs open with a double-click.
Updates download in the background and apply when you restart. If something goes wrong, go back to the previous version in one click, or pick it from the boot menu.
Free to download and use, with its code open under the GPL. OrielOS collects nothing about you or your PC, and this website sets no cookies and runs no trackers.
Tested in virtual machines while the core pieces come together.
An installer for desktop PCs with NVIDIA RTX graphics, 20-series or newer.
Support for more graphics cards, and perhaps laptops and handhelds later on.
The first release will put an installer here, ready to write to a USB stick. Watch the repository on GitHub to hear when it’s out.
Everyone who has contributed to OrielOS on GitHub. Code, docs, artwork and this website all take pull requests.
Chat live and get quick help on the official OrielOS Discord server. It's the only one: any other server using the name isn't run by the project.
