touch OS LTS is a Debian-Gnome derivative, designed with a personal touch to provide a more user-friendly experience, while being optimized for touchscreens. It runs on the stable LTS 6.1 kernel (download from 'Files').

touch OS LIQUORIX is powered by the advanced Liquorix 6.5 kernel, offering improved performance and compatibility with modern computers, especially for multitasking and gaming.

Both the LTS and LIQUORIX versions allow you to switch between Wayland and Xorg window managers. While Xorg is the preferred choice for touch interfaces in tablet mode, Wayland delivers improved performances and enhanced security.

touch OS is built upon Debian 12.1 with Gnome 43.6 and relies on its repositories for ongoing updates and support. You can also access its software store, with thousands of free apps ready for "one click" installation.

touch OS was created thanks to the exceptional remastering tool by Penguins' Eggs and features the user-friendly Calamares installer.
