GNOME Edition 2026.01 (alpha) 🧪
AerynOS with GNOME Desktop. Solid GTK integration in a clean, functional package that gets out of your way. We built this to actually work - no bloat, no buzzwords, just a damn good desktop that lets you get things done.
We use this Gnome Edition to serve as a vehicle for our lichen live installer which is able to install all of our GNOME, KDE Plasma, Cosmic and a ‘Terminal Only’ versions of AerynOS. It will always pull the latest packages from our repository at the time of installation.
You can use the ‘Terminal Only’ version to assemble your own Desktop Experience with MangoWC, Niri or Sway.
