An immutable Linux desktop, built for creators.

Bomb-proof by design, fast on a signed CachyOS kernel, with GNOME re-wired for tiling and every codec and GPU driver already in place. Its creator tools come preinstalled and GPU-accelerated, ready for work from minute one.

A finished desktop, not a starter kit.

A faster kernel, Secure Boot still on
CachyOS kernel with the BORE scheduler — lower desktop latency, and Secure Boot never has to come off.

Swap the CPU scheduler, live
Six sched_ext schedulers in the base image — switch in two seconds, no reboot.

Local AI, one command
`ujust margine-ai` adds Alpaca — chat with local LLMs fully offline, sandboxed, and removable.

Complete media stack from first boot
Proprietary codecs, hardware video acceleration, and browser DRM all work out of the box.

Scroll speed, finally a setting
A real scroll-speed control for touchpad scroll and pinch — the slider GNOME never shipped.

GNOME with a tiling workflow
Stock GNOME plus binary-tree auto-tiling and Hyprland-style keybindings.

Desktop ready at first login
37 curated apps are already there the moment you log in — no first-boot wait.

Laptop speakers, rescued
A system-wide EQ / compressor / limiter chain so cheap laptop speakers sound right.

Immutable filesystem, atomic upgrades
/usr is read-only; updates stage as a new deployment and roll back in one command.

Verified build pipeline
A release that doesn't boot in a VM never reaches your computer.

Disk encryption and TPM2
One-checkbox LUKS2 full-disk encryption at install — and we recommend you tick it.

The handbook ships inside the OS
The full documentation is baked into the image and works offline.

Distributed downloads
ISO and qcow2 on the Internet Archive as both torrent magnets and direct HTTP.
