Invariant OS Desktop · Alpha Developer Preview
A familiar desktop without the Windows lock-in.
Built on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma, Invariant OS Desktop focuses on practical migration, compatibility, gaming, privacy, and recovery.
openSUSE Tumbleweed base
Rolling Linux foundation paired with the Invariant system layer.
KDE Plasma desktop
A flexible desktop environment presented with the Invariant visual identity.
Windows migration
Copy-only migration workflows move files without modifying the source data.
Compatibility
Compatibility-layer based — honest about where it works.
Wine, Winetricks, Steam, Proton, and Lutris support many Windows applications and games, but compatibility depends on the specific software, hardware, DRM, and anti-cheat requirements.
EXE Center
Requires explicit user confirmation before launching Windows executables and provides compatibility context before launch.
Gaming
Steam and Proton support compatible games, with Lutris and Wine available for additional workloads.
Migration Center
Copy-only Windows file migration keeps the original source data untouched.
Network shares
Connect to Windows SMB shares on the local network with straightforward desktop workflows.
