EasyOS was created in 2017, derived from Quirky Linux, which in turn was derived from Puppy Linux in 2013. Easy is built in woofQ, which takes as input binary packages from any distribution, and uses them on top of the unique EasyOS infrastructure.
Throughout 2020, the official release for x86_64 PCs was the Buster-series, built with Debian 10.x Buster DEBs.
EasyOS has also been built with packages compiled from source, using a fork of OpenEmbedded (OE). Currently, the Kirkstone release of OE has been used, to compile binary packages for x86_64.
Earlier releases of EasyOS compiled in OE are the Dunfell-series and before that the Pyro-series. They have also been compiled for aarch64 and EasyOS runs on the Raspberry Pi4.

Kiro is an Arch Linux-based distribution with the goal of being an intuitive and customisable ISO image builder. It provides a simple way to build a custom Arch-based installation medium with a choice of packages, settings and scripts. Kiro uses the Xfce desktops, includes the Calamares system installer, and has a modular structure.

Kubuntu is a community developed and supported project. Since its launch in October 2004, Kubuntu has become one of the most highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users around the world.  Our mission is to provide the latest stable KDE software, which includes the flagship project Plasma, our desktop environment on top of a stable Ubuntu core.  We release in 6 monthly cycles, following the same freezes/milestones as Ubuntu.

Kubuntu will always be free to download, free to use and free to distribute to others. With these goals in mind, Kubuntu aims to be the most widely used Linux system, and is the centre of a global open source software ecosystem.

Kubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka)

Building on the Ubuntu 25.10 base released today by Canonical, Kubuntu 25.10 introduces Plasma 6.4 as the flagship update, alongside Qt 6.9, KDE Frameworks 6.17.0, and the latest KDE Gear 25.08 suite.

We've also upgraded to Linux kernel 6.17 for enhanced hardware support and efficiency. Whether you're a developer, creator, or everyday user, this release emphasizes Wayland adoption, modern security, and seamless integration with the open source world.

Kubuntu remains completely free to download, use, and share—empowering our global community to innovate without barriers. Download it now from kubuntu.org/getkubuntu and join the conversation in our forums or IRC channels.

Three Exciting New Features for Kubuntu Users

Here are three standout enhancements that Kubuntu 25.10 brings to your desktop, designed to make your workflow faster, more secure, and visually stunning:

• KDE Plasma 6.4: A Refined and Responsive Desktop Dive into the fifth feature release of Plasma 6, complete with Qt 6.8 and Frameworks 6.17.0. This update refines the desktop with smoother animations, improved widget customization, and better multi-monitor handling. It's a big win for productivity, letting you tailor your environment like never before while enjoying the stability of Ubuntu's core.
  
• Plasma Wayland as Default Session Say goodbye to legacy X11 limitations—Wayland is now the go-to session for superior graphics rendering, reduced latency, and enhanced security. With hardware-accelerated compositing baked in, you'll notice snappier video playback and app responsiveness. (X11 fans, no worries: it's still available via a simple package install.) This shift future-proofs your setup for the next era of Linux desktops.
  
• Rust-Powered sudo-rs for Safer System Management Leveraging Ubuntu's new memory-safe implementations, Kubuntu defaults to sudo-rs—a Rust-based reimplementation of sudo. It slashes vulnerabilities common in traditional tools, making privilege escalation quicker and more secure without compromising usability. Paired with NTS-enabled NTP for tamper-proof time syncing, your system stays locked down while you focus on what matters.
  
  What's New Under the Hood
  Beyond these highlights, Kubuntu 25.10 inherits Ubuntu's robust platform upgrades:
  
  
• Linux Kernel 6.17: Better Arm and RISC-V support, nested virtualization, and Intel TDX for confidential computing—ideal for developers and edge deployments.
  
• Updated Developer Tools: OpenJDK 25, Python 3.14 RC3, Golang 1.25, GCC 15, and Rust 1.85 (with 1.88 available) to supercharge your coding sessions.
  
• Enhanced Security and Accessibility: Experimental TPM-backed full disk encryption with recovery options, improved Bluetooth audio (AAC codecs via restricted extras), and broader accessibility features to meet global standards.
  
• KDE Applications Galore: Everything from Dolphin file manager to Konsole terminal refreshed to 25.08 versions, plus legacy Qt5/KF5 support for your favorite older apps.
  This release underscores Kubuntu's commitment to being at the heart of the open source ecosystem—pushing boundaries with KDE while riding Ubuntu's reliable waves. A huge thank you to our volunteer contributors, testers, and the upstream KDE team for making this possible.

TrueNAS SCALE (a successor to FreeNAS, and now marketed as Community Edition) is an Open Source Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) solution. Built on TrueNAS CORE, SCALE adds Linux Containers, VMs (KVM), and scale-out ZFS storage capabilities.

SmartOS is an open-source UNIX-like operating system based on illumos, a community fork of OpenSolaris. It features four technologies - ZFS (a combined file system and logical volume manager), DTrace (a dynamic tracing framework for troubleshooting kernel and application problems), Zones (a lightweight virtualisation solution) and KVM (a full virtualisation solution for running a variety of guest operating systems, including Linux, Windows, BSD and Plan9). SmartOS is designed to be particularly suitable for building clouds and generating appliances.

MocaccinoOS is a minimal meta-Linux distribution. It uses Luet as a package manager, which is static and uses containers to build packages.

Main features of MocaccinoOS:

• Focused on minimalism, small footprint, and ease of use
• Native vanilla upstream kernel: We closely follow kernel versions from upstream, LTS included.
• Unique approach to package management: SAT-solving is also applied on packages built in containers (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Meta distribution: It can be easily used to bootstrap other OS or spin-offs
• Local iteration: With the container ecosystem, it's easy to iterate development locally
• Cloud first: Support for the most important cloud technology in the landscape
• Different variants: From server to desktop, from systemd to runit!
