Simple before impressive.
Visual polish never comes at the cost of understanding where you are or what will happen next.
About the project
An operating system
with intent.
MohandesOS began with one principle: a desktop should feel designed from the first boot frame, not merely themed after installation.
Design principles
Everything earns its place.
Responsiveness is a feature.
Compression, caches and background services are tuned around real interaction—not synthetic marketing numbers.
Your machine, your rules.
Local accounts, no telemetry, optional encryption and open-source foundations protect user control.
One identity end to end.
Boot, login, desktop, applications and terminal share the same MohandesOS visual system.
Try before changing anything.
The live environment makes the system easy to test on real hardware without touching the installed OS.
Engineering meets design.
MohandesOS is built as both a technical system and a coherent product experience.
Roadmap
Built in deliberate stages.
MohandesOS 1.0
Stable live ISO, full branding, KDE Plasma, persistence, privacy defaults and optimized application startup.
MohandesOS 1.5
Native dashboard, deeper system settings integration and dedicated update delivery for MohandesOS components.
MohandesOS 2.0
Optional disk installer, first-party software center experience and expanded ARM64 hardware support.
