UrsaOS keeps Arch's rolling package base and familiar tooling while providing a complete, preconfigured desktop:

- Plasma as the permanent Wayland desktop (Beta 3+), with one fixed look (UrsaOS Aurora)
- graphical Try & Install ISO with German and English live sessions
- Calamares live-copy installation that does not require a network connection
- Btrfs with an optimized subvolume layout and optional snapshots
- BearHub and BearWave as source-built UrsaOS packages
- signed UrsaOS package updates through repo.ursaos.dev
- carefully selected defaults without hiding the underlying Arch system

UrsaOS is not a fork of the Arch package tree and does not carry a complete offline Arch mirror. The tested live filesystem itself is the installation payload.
