Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux. It deploys Plasma, optionally Trinity, as desktop environment on top of Debian Linux rock stable base.

The goal is to provide long-term supported system with a special emphasis on security. This is exactly what Debian base guarantees. We prefer the Debian development model to keep the core system as immutable as possible. It results in a reliable and stable system that you can definitely rely on.

Thanks to unique Q4OS tools a user can rather easily achieve setup of a fitted system eliminating superfluous packages and libraries. Therefore Q4OS performs faster and more efficient, doesn't exploit memory and computing resources with useless tasks and processes.

Another exclusive Q4OS feature is an optimized support for setting up Trinity desktop environment alongside the default Plasma desktop. Installed side by side, carefully separated, both ready to run as needed. Just select one at login.

  • One of the most underrated Linux distros! Solid and stable as a rock, fast like a bullet train! Its a must try!
  • 5 Star All Stars! I will stick my neck out here and say that this is he best Linux distro I have *ever* tried! And since 1995... I have tried *a lot*!!! It's really quick and solid. Everything just works. And the support forums are great for getting answers to anything that is not out of the box. Just can't fault it. I made another donation today as I want this one to stick around a *long time!* Kudos to Q4OS Team - you guys Rock!!!
  • With a computer which have PS/2 connectors, don't recognize USB keyboard and ISO is not a live CD. What a pity !
  • Just install it today. 17/07/2022 - will see how I go with it.
  • I have tried several different linux projects. This one is perfect and I will use it and support it in the future. I use windowsfx on old macs and they work like new.
