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?
