RuscaLinux

RuscaLinux is a desktop Linux distribution built on Debian Stable. The result is a desktop that is complete the moment it boots — no codec hunt, no missing language pack, no day-one configuration.

What's inside (release 1.99.1, amd64):

- GNOME 48 on Wayland, with custom Adwaita-Prugna icons and Plymouth splash
- LibreOffice 25.2, RuscaWriter, GIMP 3.0, VLC, Audacity, OBS Studio, Audacious
- Firefox ESR 140, Thunderbird 140, qBittorrent
- RuscaCleaner for system housekeeping
- 40+ languages bundled in the base image
- AppArmor enabled by default
- Linux 6.12 long-term kernel
- 2,728 carefully selected packages

The hybrid ISO runs as a full live system and carries its own installer, including a speech-synthesis option for accessibility.

Stable by design: RuscaLinux ships with no live repositories. Your system stays exactly as you installed it. New versions arrive as fresh ISOs.
