A system that never drifts
Immos is an immutable Linux desktop that updates as one whole image. If something breaks, roll back in a single step. Stable by default — for everyone.

Why Immos
Reliability you don’t have to think about
Immutable core
The OS is a read-only image. Apps and files live separately, so the system can’t rot or drift over time.
One-step rollback
Every update keeps the previous image. If anything looks wrong, reboot into the version that worked.
Atomic updates
Updates apply as a whole or not at all — you’re never left with a half-updated, half-broken machine.
Flatpak apps
Install software from Flathub in a click. Apps are sandboxed and update independently of the system.
Secure by default
A locked-down base with signed, verified images and sensible defaults. Less to configure, less to break.
Familiar desktop
A clean, modern KDE Plasma desktop on Wayland, with light, dark, and ten accent themes out of the box.
How it works
Three ways your system stays solid
Download & install
Write the installer to a USB drive, boot it, and click through the wizard. Your home folder stays yours.
Use it like any desktop
Browse, work, and install apps from the Software center. The core image stays untouched.
Update or roll back
Updates download in the background and activate on reboot. Don’t like one? Roll back instantly.
Installation
Install it like any other OS
Boot the installer from a USB stick and a wizard does the rest. It writes the same image the update server ships — nothing is compiled, nothing is downloaded — adds a swap partition sized to your memory, and hands you an ordinary login.
- 1 Language The first screen, in nine languages.
- 2 Greeting Checks the machine can install — before anything is written.
- 3 Disk Whole-disk erase, previewed before you confirm.
- 4 Accounts Local, managed, or an Active Directory join.
- 5 Install A few minutes of writing. Then reboot.
For homes and fleets
One machine is a desktop. Ten is a fleet.
Immos starts as a personal machine, but 0.3.0 answers the question every second machine asks — who is allowed to log in to this one? Two mechanisms, and a machine runs at most one of them.
Active Directory join
One command joins a Windows domain. Any valid domain user logs in with their own password, online or off, at the ordinary login screen.
Managed mode
Enrol a household or small business with a code. Accounts and policy arrive as signed bundles the machine applies — and keeps enforcing with no network at all.
Screen time, coming
Parental controls ride on the managed-mode machinery: the bundle format already reserves the fields, and the controls themselves are next in line.
Make it yours
Ten accents, light and dark
The desktop ships an accent picker and a first-class dark theme. Pick a colour below — this page recolours the same way your system does.
