The Russian ALT Linux Team arose from the merger of IPLabs Linux Team and the Linux community of the Institute of Logic, Cognitive Science and Development of Personality.

Flexible interface settings
The KDE Plasma graphical environment offers a wide range of tools for customizing the desktop. You can add widgets, change the color theme, and customize the appearance, layout, and configuration of the control panel.

Drivers for new NVIDIA graphics cards
With improved Wayland support, they deliver NVIDIA's best performance in 3D rendering, AI workloads, and gaming.

The modern graphics platform Wayland
The fast, secure, and modern Wayland graphical session is used by default (with the ability to switch to X11 if needed). It supports gesture control and multi-touch on touchscreen devices.

PipeWire audio subsystem
Allows you to use your workstation to record musical instruments with minimal latency and provides more precise adjustment of audio inputs.

Virtual reality
Possibility of using standalone virtual reality helmets, including via wireless connection.

Sealing wax
The Sealing Wax application for working with embedded electronic signatures of PDF documents in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law "On Electronic Signature" dated 06.04.2011 No. 63-FZ.

Electronic signature
The special ALT CSP CryptoPro utility allows you to sign documents and verify electronic signatures both from the OS interface and directly from the office suite (if the CryptoPro package is installed).

Enhanced security
LUKS2 technology encrypts disk partitions during installation. This ensures data protection, for example, if the device is lost.

Copidel
An application for creating copies of the Alt family of operating systems on the 11th platform:
replicating the Alt OS with pre-installed software and settings, creating OEM images with the ability to configure them at first launch, and installing the necessary components when manufacturing PACs.

Program Center
1000+ additional programs are available for easy installation through the Application Center.

Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency.

SMALL
Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox. This makes it small and very resource efficient. A container requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130 MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledged Linux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository.

Binary packages are thinned out and split, giving you even more control over what you install, which in turn keeps your environment as small and efficient as possible.

SIMPLE
Alpine Linux is a very simple distribution that will try to stay out of your way. It uses its own package manager called apk, the OpenRC init system, script driven set-ups and that's it! This provides you with a simple, crystal-clear Linux environment without all the noise. You can then add on top of that just the packages you need for your project, so whether it's building a home PVR, or an iSCSI storage controller, a wafer-thin mail server container, or a rock-solid embedded switch, nothing else will get in the way.

SECURE
Alpine Linux was designed with security in mind. All userland binaries are compiled as Position Independent Executables (PIE) with stack smashing protection. These proactive security features prevent exploitation of entire classes of zero-day and other vulnerabilities.
