About Nitrux
Nitrux is a Debian-based distribution that departs from its parent in almost every visible layer. It boots without systemd, using OpenRC for init, and treats AppImage portable bundles as a preferred way to ship applications, reducing dependence on the traditional package layer. Its desktop work is built on Qt and KDE technologies, including the project's own Maui application suite, which produces convergent apps designed to adapt between desktop and touch form factors, all wrapped in a strong visual identity. The project iterates rapidly and is unafraid of structural change, which keeps it interesting to watch and occasionally demanding to follow; root filesystem immutability has featured in its recent designs. Nitrux attracts users drawn to opinionated engineering and distinctive aesthetics rather than conservative defaults. Because its choices are easier seen than described, opening Nitrux in an OpenFactory browser VM is the sensible first step.
All Nitrux releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Nitrux virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Nitrux Latest default.
Questions about this target
Is this an official Nitrux image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official Nitrux media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean Nitrux Latest default.
Can I get a customized Nitrux instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
