KibaOS is a general-purpose desktop for people switching to simple — nothing to configure, nothing to figure out, and a real Windows environment built in for the programs that need it.
No afternoon lost installing extra software just to get a usable computer. KibaOS is ready right after setup.
Run Office, Photoshop, and most other Windows-only programs full-screen from KibaOS — no dual boot, no separate computer.
A friendly app manager with plain-language commands — install, remove, and update software without memorizing package-manager flags.
KibaOS's own built-in installer asks one simple question at a time, with a short confirmation before anything's written to disk.
Every visual layer is deliberately chosen: a Numix Plymouth boot splash, a consistent Numix Circle icon set across every app, and a calm Adwaita-dark base with a rounded KibaOS panel.
Even motion is unified — KibaOS's own "Organic Motion Language" keeps window opens and panel transitions feeling like part of one system instead of a grab-bag of default animations.
The first time you open "Run Windows Workspace," KibaOS installs a real Windows environment automatically in the background — no product key, nothing to click through.
After that, it opens full-screen in seconds. Press Super + K any time to switch back to your KibaOS desktop without closing Windows.
Read the FAQBuilt on a rolling release, so KibaOS stays up to date rather than waiting on big yearly versions. Updates download and apply on their own in the background, without interrupting what you're doing.
Boot it from a USB drive first — nothing is changed on your computer until you choose to install.
Download ISOYes. Boot from the USB drive to try a full live session — nothing is saved or changed on your computer until you open the installer and confirm.
KibaOS is free to download and use. The build scripts and configuration in the KibaOS repository are released under the MIT License.
Many will, through LSW (Linux Subsystem for Windows), which runs a real Windows environment full-screen from inside KibaOS. Compatibility depends on the program itself rather than on KibaOS.
The guided installer usually takes a few minutes once you've confirmed your choices, not counting how long it takes to write the ISO to a USB drive first.
KibaOS checks for small, official patches in the background and applies them automatically. There's generally nothing you need to do.
