Welcome to the Sleeper OS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page! Here, we'll unravel common queries about Sleeper OS, the Linux distribution rooted in Rocky Linux.

Why Choose Rocky Linux?

Sleeper OS embraces Rocky Linux as its foundation for a rock-solid and dependable Linux experience. Rocky Linux's community-driven, enterprise-grade approach aligns seamlessly with Sleeper OS's vision. This choice empowers us with security updates, bug fixes, and compatibility inherited from CentOS.

Unmasking "Bloatware"

"Bloatware" refers to those unnecessary software extras that come pre-loaded on an OS. These extras hog disk space, memory, and processing power, possibly slowing your system. Sleeper OS stands out by skimping on bloatware. Our focus? Streamlined, efficient user experiences without the excess baggage.

VMDK-Only Format: Why?

For now, Sleeper OS is served solely in VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) format, owing to technical challenges. Creating an ISO format solution is still in the works. Rest assured, we're actively crafting a plan to roll out an ISO version for the future.
