ZelixOS

ZelixOS is an independent, rolling-release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux, designed for users who value simplicity, performance, and a unified visual identity. It features a carefully customized KDE Plasma desktop tailored with a distinct monochrome (black-and-white) theme that remains clean, modern, and easy on the eyes.

Following a strict "clean-slate" philosophy, ZelixOS avoids bundling redundant pre-installed software, leaving users with a lightweight base and full control over their application choices. The distribution comes equipped with dedicated in-house tools—including the graphical Zelix Installer (zelixins), Zelix Updater, and the Zelix Hello welcome center—to make system deployment and post-install customization straightforward without sacrificing the power and flexibility of Arch Linux.
