MeghaOS Linux Base

An immutable, secure, Wayland-native Linux distribution designed from the ground up to serve as the perfect host for Agentic AI. Fast, lightweight, and deeply integrated.

MeghaOS Linux base: a layered secure stack — hardware, verified boot, an immutable read-only core, Flatpak sandboxed apps, and the Agentic AI desktop on top

The Infrastructure

Built for Speed and Security

Immutable Base System

The core operating system is immutable, meaning critical system files are read-only. This completely prevents accidental breakages, stops malware from compromising the system, and ensures updates are atomic and perfectly reliable.

Native Wayland & labwc

We've completely ditched legacy X11. MeghaOS is built on pure Wayland using the lightweight labwc compositor, providing a buttery-smooth, tear-free graphical experience with absolute minimal overhead.

Pre-Installed Agentic Desktop

While the MeghaOS Desktop Environment can be installed anywhere, the MeghaOS Linux base is its native home. It comes perfectly pre-configured, deeply integrated, and optimized out-of-the-box.

Advanced Engineering

Under the Hood of MeghaOS

Sandboxed Applications

Every app in its own sandbox.

Applications run in strictly isolated Flatpak containers. No app can reach your private data, your files, or the system underneath without an explicit, granular permission that you grant — so a compromised app stays boxed in.

MeghaOS sandboxed applications: a Flatpak sandbox gates each app's access to files, camera, and network behind explicit permissions
Atomic Updates

Updates that can't break your system.

Updates download in the background to an inactive system slot. On reboot, MeghaOS swaps to the new, fully-verified image in one atomic step — and if anything is wrong, it rolls straight back to the last good image.

MeghaOS atomic updates: an A/B slot design stages the new image to the inactive slot, swaps on reboot, and rolls back on failure
Hardware Optimized

Tuned to the metal for the agent.

A custom-compiled, low-latency Linux kernel squeezes every ounce of performance from modern multi-core processors, keeping scheduler latency minimal so the AI agent runs with zero bottlenecks.

Developer First

Build anything, break nothing.

Native support for Docker, Podman, and virtualized development environments lets you spin up any toolchain in an isolated container. Write and run code on MeghaOS without ever cluttering or breaking your host's dependencies.

Verified Boot

A chain of trust from power-on.

Cryptographic verification runs at every stage of boot — firmware, bootloader, kernel, and the base OS each prove they are untampered before they run. Rootkits and advanced persistent threats are blocked at the door.

MeghaOS verified boot: firmware, bootloader, kernel, and OS are each signature-checked in a chain of trust
BTRFS File System

Snapshot before every change.

Built on the advanced BTRFS file system, MeghaOS takes an instant snapshot before any major change and restores it in milliseconds if needed — while transparent compression quietly saves you disk space along the way.

Get Started

From Download to Desktop in Three Steps

1

Download

Grab the installer image — 3.0 GB for amd64 (x86_64). Everything is included, so the install never needs a network connection.

Download ISO
2

Write to USB

Flash the image to an 8 GB or larger USB stick with Balena Etcher, Rufus, or the command line, then boot from it.

3

Install

The graphical installer walks you through disks and accounts. On first boot you land straight in the Agentic AI desktop.

Writing the image from a terminal

On Linux or macOS, with the USB stick at /dev/sdX — check the device name carefully, this erases it:

sudo dd if=meghaos-0.1.10-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
Requirements
amd64 (x86_64) processor
UEFI or legacy BIOS firmware
8 GB RAM recommended
25 GB free disk space
An 8 GB or larger USB stick
A Wayland-capable GPU driver
