Hello stargazer, a new experience awaits.
Powered by the awesomeness of KDE and Universal Blue, crafted for you.
Get onboard. Aurora is the ultimate desktop OS for your developer workstation or the perfect maintenance-free OS for everyone.
Let's gaze at the stars together, fellow traveller.
Aurora for end-users
Aurora is the image for people who want a reliable, safe and smooth computing experience for everyday tasks and beyond. The OS for everyone, including those hobby stargazers.
Simply delightful.
Aurora features a lightly customized KDE Plasma for a super smooth and delightful desktop experience that can be customized indefinitely.
You can even move the taskbar.
Speed and Reliability
Perfectly tuned and optimized, for maximum efficiency and reliability like a 100 year old machine.
Your computer will never feel the same again.
Zero Maintenance
The system only has to be installed once. Updates of your apps and the system is handled in the background for you.
Set and forget, like a dream.
Hardware Support
We have individual editions for Surface and ASUS users and all include expanded hardware support for game controllers, printer hardware and much more.
Don't forget to print the starship bills.
Aurora for developers
Are you a pro at stargazing? The developer experience edition takes the great foundation and cranks it up to eleven.
Brew, ready for your needs.
Brew is preinstalled and ready to use on Aurora. Use it to install every CLI tool you could've never dreamt up. Brew is safely integrated to never mess with your host system.
Beer never tasted so good.
Containers, your best friends.
Docker and Podman come preconfigured to suit every type of workflow, including a containerized CLI experience. And with Ptyxis, your distrobox is only one click away.
Never say "works on my machine" again.
Preconfigured and ready for serious work.
Visual Studio Code is preinstalled and already preconfigured to support workflows involving DevContainers. And with a single command, you can grab Jetbrains Toolbox if you like coffee more.
Or use neovim if you know how to exit it.
Let the robots take over.
If you fancy local LLMs or do any kind of machine learning work, Aurora has you covered there too. Run private LLMs with Ollama spin up a pytorch distrobox for some serious AI work.
Use the robots to your advantage.
