Starlight and Haven UIs will be more of a modern, simple, minimalistic design, different than Pangolin's material style design.
The new interfaces will follow a new design metaphor!
Just the basics
dahliaOS keeps things light by only including apps you need, and you can add all of your favorites from other operating systems using the Containers app. dahliaOS also provides a curated marketplace for third-party native Flutter applications, so you can use nearly every application within one system!
A wide range of supported devices
dahliaOS provides a fast and stable experience on nearly every computer, from a 2004 desktop tower to the latest generation of mobile notebooks. Our dual kernel approach allows users with new(er) hardware to take advantage of the Zircon Kernel, while maintaining support for older devices using the Linux Kernel.
Features
Internet Recovery
If something goes wrong with your system, dahliaOS will automatically download and boot from the latest image to help you get back up and running.
Powered by the best of Fuchsia and Linux
To ensure the widest range of support, dahliaOS provides builds based on both the Zircon and Linux kernels. Both images provide the same great desktop experience.
Effortless multitasking
dahliaOS features a brand new window manager, built from the ground up and designed to adapt between mobile and desktop platforms.
Optimized for every platform
Powered by the Buildroot build system, dahliaOS packs itself into a tiny 160 MB image file*, using only 199 MB of RAM when idle!
Free and open source
dahliaOS is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, and all of our source code can be found on Github.
Rolling Release
dahliaOS provides frequent minor updates and patches, and updates in the background without interrupting your work, no reboots required.
Built-in containers
Do you want to use dahliaOS but keep using your old apps? You can! The Containers application allows you to run nearly any app within dahliaOS.
Developer Friendly
With dahliaOS, you can run all of your favorite development software, manage the system through the terminal, and save system resources for intensive work.
