Lotus OS is an Arch-based distribution built on Hyprland — designed so anyone, even switching straight from Windows, never has to open a terminal to feel at home.
Every core system task — network, sound, updates, files — has a real graphical tool. The terminal is there when you want it, never when you need it.
Settings, package installs, file management and Wi-Fi — all handled through polished graphical apps, no command line required.
Hand-tuned Hyprland animations give every window, workspace and menu a soft, physical feel — without taxing lower-end hardware.
Full rolling-release access to the AUR and official repos when you need it — Lotus never hides the engine from you.
Lotus Migrate brings across your documents, pictures and browser bookmarks in a guided, graphical setup step.
Tuned for older and modest hardware — the shell stays responsive without a discrete GPU or heavy background services.
A warm, considered visual identity from the boot splash to the lock screen — Lotus looks like nothing else in the Linux space.
Every panel, prompt and menu shares the same warm, glassy language.
Lotus Biscuit is our inaugural public build — stable enough to explore, honest about being early.
