Okay, anyone else looking to try out the very promising looking #AerynOS: the installer is fast and simple, but it's also not for beginners *or* people obsessed with controlling every step of the process.
You will have to use gParted/fdisk to set up your partitions, including a 256mb+ efi, 4gb+ boot, and then your main partition, which they recommend should be xfs; f2fs and ext4 are other options, but they don't work as well with the new fun moss tooling.
Anyway, it comes with #Gnome, #Plasma (in plm or sddm flavor), or #Cosmic for desktop choices, and also no WM/DE or even headless install.
The Owlbear is Going Gnome.

AerynOS’ latest Unstable Stream update brings Versioned Repositories phase 2, systemd packaging changes, Linux kernel 7.1, Plasma 6.7.2, and more.

Unstable Stream Update: 5 July 26
A really big update this time round. We have finally landed the next phase of our Versioned Repositories, big systemd changes, Linux 7.1 Plasma 6.7, Gnome 50.3 and Cosmic 1.2 plus a hell of a lot more.
There is too much to cover in a toot, so to check out all the details, you can read the announcement on GitHub:
-
Mini status update: 1st July 2026
We have spoken about our Versioned Repositories, phase 2 goal for months now and due to the awesome work of Tarkah and ermo, this was landed a little over a week ago to our volatile stream. Further infrastructure upgrades are in the pipeline and we will expand on it all in a future blog post.
We have landed new kernels (7.1 series), new DE versions (Plasma 6.7, Cosmic 1.2 and Gnome 50.3) amongst a load of other updates. In addition to that, Reilly has done a fairly extensive rework of our systemd package and how it works.
We need to let all these changes simmer for a few more days along with a little more testing of the Versioned Repositories, phase 2 code upgrades, before we sync our volatile stream contents to our unstable stream.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Both Linux 7.1 and Plasma 6.7 have landed in the AerynOS volatile Repo and are in testing

On a separate note, the AerynOS Stripe one-off donation link was disabled last week as it was subject to a card testing attack. The issue is resolved and the link is re-enabled again.
These sorts of attacks impact the projects ability to collect donations to help cover project costs and save up for future project investment. If you like the work we are doing, please consider donating to the project.
