Desktop
Windows-friendly Linux desktop with KDE Plasma, copy-only Windows migration, compatibility-layer app support, gaming tools, network-share access, privacy defaults, and recovery workflows.
Desktop public testing
Linux built for control, compatibility, and recovery.
Invariant OS Desktop is a Windows-friendly Linux desktop based on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma. The current Alpha Developer Preview is available for public testing.
Server
The Server edition is planned as a separate server track, but it is not built or available for testing yet.
Why Invariant OS
Built around controlled change.
Invariant OS is designed around predictable behavior, honest compatibility, visible recovery paths, and user-controlled updates.
Controlled compatibility
Windows applications run through compatibility layers where possible; support varies by application, drivers, DRM, and anti-cheat.
Copy-only migration
Windows migration tools copy source data rather than deleting or modifying the original files.
Recovery-first operation
Installation, updates, repair, snapshots, and recovery are treated as visible system workflows.
