Built for you.

Oreon is a desktop OS that works for basic users and developers alike.

Familiar Workflow

The desktop is laid out the way you expect. Apps open where you think they will, settings are where you look for them, and there is nothing to relearn just to get around.

Optimized Performance

Oreon runs well on a wide range of hardware, and older machines are not left behind. We aim to improve performance in future releases, especially with Oreon 11 via BORE.

Absolute Privacy

No telemetry, no tracking, no accounts. Your data stays on your machine, and you can see what runs in the background.

The GNOME Experience

GNOME is a mature desktop that is easy to use and easy to customize.

Trusted Technology

GNOME is a mature, easy to use, and fairly customizable desktop environment developed by Red Hat and the FOSS community.

Community Driven

GNOME is a community-driven desktop environment that is free and open source. We recommend donating to GNOME to support their hard work. https://donate.gnome.org/

Global Support Effort

Oreon supports many languages out of the box, and we keep adding translated docs and community resources.

Installing at home or at work should work the same in your language, with clear docs to follow.

Global support is more than translation. We are building the infrastructure so contributors anywhere can take part.

Oreon is built to serve users wherever they are.

Your data is your property.

Oreon does not collect telemetry, track your usage, or push cloud services on you.

You can see what connects where and what runs in the background.

Oreon is community-driven.

The code is public, and we support the upstream projects Oreon is built on.
