An Arch-based Linux distribution

Your computer also deserves some mimos

MimOS explores a warmer, clearer, and more respectful desktop experience without hiding how Linux works.

From Spain, with mimos.

A warmer, clearer, and more respectful Linux desktop experience, built through open source, verifiable evidence, and warm design.

Why MimOS

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.

Gallery

MimOS as it looks: real screenshots of the exact published image. The ones with two appearances follow this page's theme — change it above and they change with it. The rest are screens that only exist in dark.

Support MimOS

MimOS is an independent project, published free of charge and driven by its community. Your direct help supports development, testing and continued improvement.

Code and packages

Once the repository opens, propose changes to the codebase and help maintain packages within official Arch repositories.

Testing and accessibility

Try it on your computer and tell us what happens. MimOS has been installed and is used daily on machines with Intel, AMD and NVIDIA graphics — ours. Every different computer that boots is information we did not have. Help with screen readers, contrast and keyboard navigation too.

Documentation and design

Improve technical documentation, test guides, visual identity, and user experience of the website and installer.

Ready to give the first hug?

MimOS 1.0 is here: the first stable release, with a Spanish installer, encryption and recovery straight from the boot menu.
