NawaOS is a gaming Linux distribution based on Debian 13 that sets itself up. Steam, Proton-GE, Lutris, Heroic, RetroArch and GameScope are ready before you sign in, and a bilingual Setup Wizard (Arabic or English) installs your graphics driver and favourite apps on first boot.
Version 2.2 puts everything you touch while you play in one place: a Control Center in the top bar for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound, Game Mode, the FPS overlay and performance profiles; a rebuilt Store with 60+ curated games, launchers and tools; and a terminal made for players. It runs on Linux 7.2, Mesa 26.1 and the NVIDIA 595 driver, with Secure Boot support.
A Timeshift snapshot is taken before every update, Recovery Mode lives in the boot menu, and your game saves can sync to your own cloud. Handhelds (Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go) get a console-mode image with TDP control. Available as Full, Lite and Handheld images. Free to download and use.

5 out of 5 starsVERY NICE MR ABDULLA! wow this distro is very well made. Very professional. Easy Install with CALAMARES! Based on Debian Trixie. Cinnamon Desktop. All steam and gaming needs pre installed. Fast, quick, swift. A Game Center for extra boosting for games. Proton for Steam. And a very nice clean professional gui. Also had my Amd radeon vulkan drivers pre installed. Vulkan test scores above average on geekbench! This needs to be out there for more people to see. This is very very impressive.
