XyvorraOS v1.0.2

Clone it. Break it. Tell me what's wrong. That's the loop — and it's working pretty well.

Alpha software — expect rough edges

Install on a test machine or VM first. If something explodes, that's what the Issues tab is for. XyvorraOS is a one-person project in active development.

💡 Note on GPU acceleration

XyvorraOS uses transparency and animation effects throughout the UI. Systems without GPU acceleration can run XyvorraOS in reduced-effects mode, but animations and UI responsiveness may be limited. An SSD is strongly recommended — updates and theme switching will feel much faster.

First orders, Commander.

For the full update guide, see the How to Update XyvorraOS page.
