Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 is now available on WinGet!
Last month, we have announced the availability of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for the traditional AMD64 Windows systems with WinGet as the installation method. This made the installation of Nitrocid easier and smoother without having to install a separate package manager or to manually go to our GitHub.
Now, we are very excited to announce that we have made a significant progress regarding the packaging of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 systems. Starting from today, you can now install Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x on ARM64 systems with WinGet!
Snapdragon X and other Windows systems that use ARM64 as the processor architecture can now experience the same smooth installation flow, which simplifies the installation experience, given that we understand that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 these days.
You can install Nitrocid 0.2.0.x and 0.1.0.x using WinGet on ARM64 systems using the following commands:
- Nitrocid 0.2.0.x:
winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.2.0.x - Nitrocid 0.1.0.x:
winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.1.0.x
The documentation will be updated shortly to reflect the status of Nitrocid’s WinGet packages as a new installation method.
Please note that the updated packages may not be always available, and updates can take from a minimum of few hours to a maximum of few days to propagate, depending on the version being distributed.

Nitrocid 0.1.2 has officially become EOL
Nitrocid 0.1.2, which was released on February 2025, has ended its official support as of February 12th of this year. When Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released, this means that we have ended support for Nitrocid 0.1.2 as we move forward.
Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided more features, such as SMultivar, Pomodoro timer, commands, and much more, alongside many improvements that were shipped with this version of the simulator. It was a third major release for the 0.1.x version series that came after 0.1.1 and 0.1.0.
If you want to continue getting official support, consider these two methods:
- Upgrade to Nitrocid 0.2.0, taking breaking changes into account.
- Downgrade to Nitrocid 0.1.0, but with all updates applied, such as Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6.
Users who continue using Nitrocid 0.1.2 will no longer get official support, and updates will officially end at version 0.1.2.33. This means that no security updates will be made for this version.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 announcement
The release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 has just happened, but all of that is not enough for this huge milestone.
Today, we are announcing the availability of the sixth service pack of Nitrocid 0.1.0! This service pack is not a small collection of bug fixes, but it’s a massive transformation!
We have integrated all features of 0.1.2, especially the best features that made it to that version when we first released it! This was done as part of our plan to make continuity possible with the addition of all the features from that version, with our promise that bug fixes related to those features will be made.
Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 is now available, but we’ll need to remind you of the hot features that Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided.
Modern design
Nitrocid KS 0.1.2 used Terminaux 6.1 to provide you with a modern design that aligns with today’s standards. This service pack uses Terminaux 8.1 to integrate many improvements made to ensure that you get the speediest experience yet. Instead of using non-curved rectangles in borders, we’ve used the curved borders in rectangles to make every single interactive TUI, be it The Nitrocid Homepage or the interactive settings TUI, more attractive than before. This uses the appropriate Unicode character set to render those curved corners.
More TUIs
We have added more interactive TUIs that allow you to use your favorite things more easily, such as the following interactives:
- FTP
- SFTP
- Mail manager
- Mod manager
In addition to that, we’ve made improvements to the existing TUIs, such as the live timezones that refresh every second in the left selection pane. TUIs will continue to be improved in future Nitrocid and Terminaux releases as they closely interface with each other.
Packaging improvements
We had introduced the Windows Installer, powered by the WiX 5.x toolset, as we are making experiences more intuitive during the development of 0.1.2. In addition to that, we had introduced support for PKGBUILD files, and they’re available in the Arch Linux AUR. Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 continues to offer both the Windows Installer package for Windows users and the Arch Linux AUR package that you can install with your AUR helper in an Arch Linux installation.
Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 is now available for download. Try it out today; we’re open to feedback!

Nitrocid 0.2.0 – Attractive, Bold, Powerful
Since Nitrocid 0.0.1 (Kernel Simulator back then), we have been constantly making it closer to what we have today as an operating system simulator built on textual user interface, along with the command-line interface backed by the shell that executes commands. Celebrating the eighth year anniversary of Nitrocid, including the most important transformation point that is 0.1.0 released March 2024, we are very excited to announce that we have taken things further.
When we were working on 0.1.0, we were focusing on the kernel itself, along with a few enhancements being made to various components, including the addition of the addon system. Since then, we have introduced you to The Nitrocid Homepage with 0.1.1 on July to provide you with a hub, the first thing you see when you sign in to your Nitrocid user. Additionally, we have released 0.1.2 last February to modernize the design and to provide more improvements in different areas of the simulated system.
Let’s make the huge milestone of a day even bigger by introducing you to one of the biggest events, along with the completion of the rebrand plan, which is…
Nitrocid 0.2.0!
Welcome to the brand new, bold, attractive Nitrocid! After our hard work that was poured in both the technical preview and the release candidate, we have finally come to the reimagined appearance and design of Nitrocid! After nearly a year of development, we have finally reached this milestone, with many exciting changes that have been made to Nitrocid!
The redesign has not only affected the home screen, but we’ve also made this redesign in both the login screen and the default splash screen! We’ve also made sure that the transition becomes smoother between these screens!
We will go through a super-quick list of key features in this version, before leaving the rest of the features as an exercise for you to discover!
Widget Canvas JSON
From build system improvements made in early 2025 to the separation of the Nitrocid executable to two parts (Nitrocid.Base and Nitrocid.Core), we have made a wide assortment of new features, and one of the biggest features that we’ll be introducing you to here is Widget Canvas JSON!
The Widget Canvas JSON feature is not only available in The Nitrocid Homepage, but we’ve also made it available in the modern logon screen, which is configured to be the default logon screen in new installations. Starting from Nitrocid 0.2.0, we’ve opened new doors to custom pages for both of the screens. Not only that, but you can create an unlimited number of pages that are rendered with widgets at their core!
To take customization further, you can use custom widgets that are provided by your mods, which makes your kernel configurable to your heart’s content! Kernel mods were part of the kernel since 0.0.5 released on September 2018. Since then, they became stronger by making them being able to access all public APIs, further enhanced by the inter-addon and inter-mod communication facilities!
Two-factor authentication
When it comes to user account security, we’ve added two-factor authentication support, which is implemented with a standard that is compatible with many major authenticator, such as Google Authenticator. Users with a password can be enrolled to this requirement, and phone users are taken into account by printing the QR code to the console, which quickly imports the setup key to the authenticator.
From now on, if you activate the requirement, you’ll need to provide the 6-digit code provided to you by the authenticator, in addition to the password.
Localization and Terminaux
During the development of 0.2.0, we’ve also released Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1 and used them consecutively in tech preview (which used 7.0) and in release candidate (which used 8.0). This caused many improvements related to both performance and stability to land to the kernel, creating an ultimate experience that we’re looking forward for, complete with improved mouse support in Terminaux 8.1! Now, interactive TUIs have become more responsive than before!
One final thing to say is that we have migrated the whole localization system to use built-in .NET string resources that used culture specifiers. This, alone, made the localization feature in Nitrocid (that was part of the kernel since 0.0.6) more reliable than never before, by using localization IDs instead of text strings alone to distinguish different localizations from each other.

Reviving old Nitrocid Documentation
While we are gathering information about how we plan to finalize the documentation for the upcoming Nitrocid release, we’ve discovered an interesting way to revive the old Nitrocid documentation. Before we get into details into how we did it, here’s some background information about the original Nitrocid documentation.
When version 0.0.6 was still in development, we did it as part of the executable using embedded resources. You can see the resultant “manual page” files here, before the migration to GitHub Wiki started at around 2019 before the release of 0.0.8. The documentation then stayed on GitHub Wiki until 2022, when we had planned to move the docs to DocFX during the development of 0.0.23.x.
However, during development of 0.0.24.x, we’ve discovered that the documentation needed a rework, and that libraries at the time had no documentation. The only documentation that was provided at the time was the API docs, and that, in our opinion, wasn’t enough, because the API docs don’t usually provide detailed information about the functionality of the library.
So, when 2023 started, we’ve begun a project that focuses on a complete rewrite of the Nitrocid documentation, which was part of our plan of the Nitrocid 0.1.0 release. During the beta release, we’ve brought the GitBook documentation online. That was after careful choosing of the documentation frameworks: whether to continue using DocFX or to switch to another doc framework (GitBook, Read The Docs, etc.) was our question.
Modernity of our docs and simplification of our workflow was our requirements, and GitBook has been carefully chosen after considering its capabilities. The current GitBook documentation can be found here. This migration has caused us to shut down the Wiki section in our GitHub as we were telling people that the migration was done.
Fast forward to today, as we no longer have backups of the old wiki for versions 0.0.23.x and older, we’ve decided to run a Git clone on the Wiki repository of Nitrocid to check to see if we can fetch them. Here’s the command:
$ git clone https://github.com/Aptivi/Nitrocid.wiki.gitInstead of getting an error or getting an empty repository, we got a full history of the wiki that was active from 2019 to 2022. This gave us a brand new project to do during the “Final Touches” stage of 0.2.0 as part of the documentation preservation project under the Archived Manuals GitHub organization, making February 12th the biggest milestone yet.
We will study the structure of the commits and release archived documentation under GitBook when each version is discovered. This release is going to be asynchronous to the 0.2.0 release plan.
We have learned that when you disable the Wiki on GitHub, the repository that contains the wiki itself won’t be deleted. For example, deactivating Nitrocid’s Wiki section on GitHub won’t remove the
Nitrocid.wiki.gitrepository. Therefore, this is done on purpose to make restoration easier, in case you ever want to turn the Wiki section back on.To clone the wiki repository when the Wiki section is disabled, just run this command:
$ git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.wiki.gitYou can interact with it just like any other Git repository.

Final reminder for Nitrocid 0.1.2 EOL
As Nitrocid 0.2.0 becomes closer to the final release, we’re here to remind you that Nitrocid 0.1.2, which was released on February 2025, will end its official support on February 12th of this year. When Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released, this means that we have ended support for Nitrocid 0.1.2 as we move forward.
Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided more features, such as SMultivar, Pomodoro timer, commands, and much more, alongside many improvements that were shipped with this version of the simulator. It was a third major release for the 0.1.x version series that came after 0.1.1 and 0.1.0.
If you want to continue getting official support, consider these two methods:
- Upgrade to Nitrocid 0.2.0, taking breaking changes into account.
- Downgrade to Nitrocid 0.1.0, but with all updates applied, such as Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6.
Users who continue using Nitrocid 0.1.2 will no longer get official support, and updates will officially end at version 0.1.2.33. This means that no security updates will be made for this version.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 has entered the final touches stage!
Nitrocid 0.2.0, which is an anticipated release of the next major version of Nitrocid after v0.1.0 version series that provides a plethora of improvements and new features, has finally entered the “Final Touches” stage! We are very close to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 and Terminaux 8.1, while the latter comes after to tomorrow! We are very excited to have moved forward to this level, because without Terminaux, none of this would have been possible.
Nitrocid 0.2.0 has one goal: to make the user interface more useful and more modern with the help of the new features that Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1 provided. The development of 0.1.3 had introduced a shift that led to the release of the technical preview of 0.2.0, which provided the “core” of the release. Since then, the release candidate focused on adding new features while providing existing improvements, and the final release finishes the mission of being feature-complete. The release candidate now looks like this:
We believe in transparency, so we’ve provided the live release plan project that is available on GitHub as per this link.
The final touches stage starts today, and we’re working on fixing as many bugs as possible to ensure that we release 0.2.0 in the cleanest way possible!
We are still firm on the release date, and it’s February 12th, assuming that things go smoothly when the final updates and bug fixes are done to the final release. In the past announcements of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we announced the date several times, and it felt far. Now, it’s getting closer and closer as we’re maintaining the final touches to Nitrocid 0.2.0 and finalizing its changelogs, which is expected to be done by the end of January.
We will not move the date forward to ensure that many last-minute bugs are fixed, especially due to the breaking nature that Terminaux 8.1 provides over Terminaux 8.0.

Get Ready for Nitrocid 0.2.0!
We have been working on Nitrocid 0.2.0 since early February of the last year, when we were planning to release it as 0.1.3, which was another patch release on top of the 0.1.0 series. Changes made to the kernel and to the build system led to changing the plan for the release to 0.2.0, which will be released on February 12th.
Right now, we are at the last few stages for this version of Nitrocid, which means that we are now preparing for the final release to make sure that any last-minute bug are caught. This has now become a priority to make a gateway towards the stable final release, which will be worked on.
Here are some of the features that will make it to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0:
Terminaux 8.1
In the tech preview release of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we were fixated on making sure that the latest version of Terminaux was used. Our plan went fine, so we went ahead to create Terminaux 8.0 for the release candidate and Terminaux 8.1 for the final release. While Terminaux 8.1 still didn’t get released, we are just a few days away from releasing it, making sure that Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released with this version of Terminaux.
This incorporates major improvements that happened between Terminaux 6.1 and 8.1, from performance enhancements and rendering improvements to API cleanups and input system refinements. All of this were important for Nitrocid 0.2.0, and this version wouldn’t have happened without Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1.
Widget Canvas
Widget canvas is now available in both your login screen and your home screen, which lets you make infinite number of pages of widgets to get more information effortlessly. Signing in to your Nitrocid account is not required to obtain this amount of information, so you can take a look at more than just date and time.
Widgets have also been improved with support for a variety of widgets, including RSS feeds, date, time, decorative widgets like text, and custom widgets that your mods use. This takes customization, along with a redesigned The Nitrocid Homepage, to a whole new level.
Two-factor authentication
Additionally, Nitrocid 0.2.0 now lets users set up two-factor authentication to install an extra layer of security to the user. This allows users to set up a second login factor so that they get prompted for the six-digit PIN each time they sign in to their user account, provided that they’ve logged in with the correct password.
The implementation of the two-factor authentication feature supports major authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Authy, and you can easily generate QR code for you to be able to set it up right from your phone, whether it’s running Android or iOS.
Many more
There are many more features that were added to Nitrocid 0.2.0, and we are awaiting the day of the release to excite you with the huge milestone that’s going to define the history of Nitrocid!
