A Linux distribution for everyone. Play and learn ethical hacking.
This is the standard edition of HackerOS. It's intended for casual users and gamers.
This edition is aimed at cybersecurity (generally). It features a dedicated kernel (HackerOS Kernel) optimized for cybersecurity, a proprietary cybersecurity tools, and, in the future, a proprietary GhostFS file system. Based on Debian Stable.
The HackerOS edition tailored for cybersecurity is designed exclusively for Red Teams. While "Cybersecurity Default" includes the Xen Hypervisor (and the kernel and other components familiar from the standard cybersecurity edition), it also features a dedicated Red Team session known as "Penetration Mode."
The nvidia edition is also a copy of the official edition but with nvidia drivers installed.
It is the same as the official edition but instead of KDE it has Xfce.
It is the same as the official edition but instead of KDE it has Gnome.
The Hydra edition has the Garuda Linux look (partially) and has everything the same as the official one.
HackerOS edition featuring a custom graphical environment.
This is the same version as the official one, but it has Debian stable instead of Debian testing.
The SteamOS-inspired Gaming Edition features the XanMod LTS kernel and a SteamOS-like game mode.
The Atomic edition is the immutable edition of HackerOS. The system uses atomic package transactions where each operation creates a new generation (gen-N) stored in a content-addressed store. Changes can activate immediately (user mode) or after reboot (system mode), with rollback support via GRUB. An integrity guardian ensures the package store remains read-only and cryptographically verified.
HackerOS follows a two-month release cycle. The Xfce, GNOME, Blue, and Hydra editions are released as x.0 and x.5 versions. The LTS edition is available exclusively with x.0 releases, while the Gaming edition is released with x.3 and x.7 versions. The Atomic edition is released with x.1 and x.9 versions.
