In active development

LuisOS is coming soon.

A real, installable Linux distribution built on Alpine, with a full KDE Plasma desktop and a graphical installer -- not a browser demo, an actual OS you boot and install.

Built on Alpine

A real Alpine Linux base -- musl libc, OpenRC, apk -- not a from-scratch distro.

KDE Plasma desktop

A modern, familiar taskbar-and-start-menu desktop, not a bare console.

Graphical installer

A real installer wizard -- disk selection, user setup, network -- no manual partitioning required.

Small recovery ISO

The ISO you boot is just a lightweight installer -- the full system downloads over the network during setup.

How it installs

1

Boot the ISO

A small recovery image -- just enough to run a graphical installer, not the full OS.

2

Pick a disk

The installer reads real disk info from the system and lets you choose where to install.

3

Set up your account

Computer name, username, and password -- no manual user creation needed.

4

It downloads the real system

The full Alpine + KDE Plasma image is fetched over the network and written to disk -- the ISO itself never contained it.

5

Reboot into LuisOS

GRUB is installed automatically; remove the media and you're in a real desktop.
