Your computer also deserves some mimos
MimOS explores a warmer, clearer, and more respectful desktop experience without hiding how Linux works.
A warmer, clearer, and more respectful Linux desktop experience, built through open source, verifiable evidence, and warm design.
Warm, not condescending
Friendly messages that explain what happened and what you can do next.
Recognizable Linux
Arch Linux, KDE Plasma, Wayland and pacman keep their names and documentation.
Private and verifiable
No telemetry, no mandatory accounts, official repository packages, and version-bounded evidence.
