Kore OS is a Linux distribution built on Debian 13 "Trixie" featuring the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It boots into a custom SDDM login screen with frosted glass styling and user profile avatars, then drops into a full Plasma desktop with PipeWire audio, NetworkManager, printer support, and a pre-configured UFW firewall. A Calamares graphical installer is included for permanent installation. Two builds are available: a live hybrid ISO for x86_64 and a compressed disk image for aarch64 (Raspberry Pi, QEMU). Default credentials are kore / kore with passwordless sudo.
