JatayuOS
A Linux desktop experience made in India
JatayuOS 1.0 (Udaan) is a free, open-source Linux distribution developed in India, built on Debian 13 (Trixie) with the KDE Plasma desktop. Designed for everyday computing, it combines a familiar interface with Aarambh, a custom welcome app, Jatayu Tools, wallpaper customization, Firefox and LibreOffice. It supports APT and Flatpak, offers a graphical installer, and can be installed without an internet connection. Available for 64-bit PCs, JatayuOS is free for everyone.
I'm excited to introduce JatayuOS 1.0 (Udaan), a free and open-source Linux distribution developed in India.
The idea behind JatayuOS was to create a Linux desktop that feels familiar, useful, and welcoming, particularly for people who are trying Linux for the first time.
Rather than building everything from scratch, I chose Debian 13 (Trixie) as the foundation and KDE Plasma for its flexibility and familiar desktop experience.
Along the way, I worked on custom branding, the desktop layout, the installation experience, and applications designed to make everyday tasks more convenient.
Some highlights of this first release include:
- Aarambh, a custom welcome application. - Jatayu Tools, bringing together useful applications and resources. - A personalized desktop and wallpaper changer. - Firefox, LibreOffice, APT, and Flatpak. - A graphical installer that works without an internet connection.
JatayuOS 1.0 is already available for download. This is its introduction to the Product Hunt community, not a new ISO release.
I know there is plenty of room to improve, and independent feedback is especially valuable at this stage.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
What would make you consider trying a new Linux distribution? Are there particular features, performance improvements, or usability details you'd like to see in JatayuOS?
You can explore the project, download the ISO, and review the source code here:
Thank you for taking the time to explore JatayuOS.
