eduOS
A Universal Blue based immutable Linux distribution for use in education.

Why eduOS?
A lot of schools run outdated computers that are incapable of running Windows 11 where i live (Hungary). eduOS gives you automatic updates, performance and useful software to use in education. eduOS aims to give a free, open-source, easy-to-manage alternative.

Features
🔒 Immutable base — students can’t break the system
🔄 Automatic updates via bootc image pulls and Flatpak
📦 Profile-based software bundles via Flatpak
🛠️ YAML-based customization for IT administrators
💻 Two desktop environments — KDE Plasma (modern hardware) and Cinnamon (older hardware)

How it works
eduOS is built on Universal Blue, an immutable Linux base where the system files are read-only. This means students can’t accidentally break the OS — on reboot, everything is back to normal.
Updates are delivered as container images via bootc, similar to how phones receive OTA updates. IT administrators never need to manually update individual machines.
Software is delivered via Flatpak, sandboxed and profile-specific. Each machine type gets only the software it needs, keeping the system lean on older hardware.

coming soon
