Current Status

Tavashtr OS is currently in the beta phase. Rapid changes, fixes, and active development are still ongoing.

  • It is not suitable for production use yet.
  • It does not include an installer at this stage.
  • The current release is available only as a live image.
  • If you see 0.0.1 in the ISO, treat it as an internal label, not an official version.

A live image lets you boot and try the system directly from a USB drive without installing it to your disk, making it useful for testing the desktop and current features safely.

The Vision

Tavashtr OS aims to make Linux feel welcoming without sacrificing the strength of a mature distribution. By building on Debian, it delivers a stable base while keeping the desktop fast, focused, and efficient enough for real everyday use.

The experience centers on clean presentation, practical defaults, and a workflow that stays out of your way, helping users spend less time managing the system and more time creating, learning, or shipping work.

Free and Open Source

Tavashtr OS is free and open source to use.

The source code is not currently hosted on any version control platform. We plan to publish it to a Git repository (like GitHub or GitLab) once we reach our first stable release.

Until then, the current source code can be downloaded from here

Support

Tavashtr Technologies plans to provide paid support in the future for Tavashtr OS deployment.

This may also include paid long-term OS support and optimization for specific hardware.

Stay tuned!
