Built on Linux
A system with elegance, simplicity, and control.
Austral OS is an integrated desktop experience built on top of Linux. Less configuration, more work. Fewer disconnected parts, more coherence.
Why Austral OS?
An operating system, not a collection of parts.
Many Linux distributions offer excellent components. Austral OS looks for something different: an experience where the system, the desktop, and applications work together under a single vision.

Common functions should be easy to find and use.
Experience first
Decisions are made thinking about the end user.
Trends are fleeting
Coherence and stability take priority over trends.
Long-term Vision
Building more than a desktop
