Documentation

This is the official documentation for Kryon OS. Here you can find guides, tutorials, and answers to common questions to help you get the most out of your system.

Getting Started

Welcome to Kryon OS! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get up and running.

Installation

Our graphical installer makes the process straightforward. Before you begin, make sure you have prepared a bootable USB drive.

1. Download the ISO: Grab the latest image from our homepage.
2. Create a Bootable USB: Use a tool like **balenaEtcher** or **Rufus** to write the ISO to a USB drive.
3. Boot from USB: Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive. The installer will launch automatically.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. You will be able to choose your language, keyboard layout, time zone, and create a user account.

Post-Installation

After a successful installation, you're ready to start using your system. Here are a few recommended first steps:

• Run a system update to ensure all packages are up to date:

sudo pacman -Syu

• Install your favorite applications using the Kryman tool.

kryman -S firefox steam brave vscode

Kryman Package Manager

Kryman is our custom tool that simplifies package management. It can search and install packages from official Arch repositories, the AUR, and Flatpak, automatically choosing the best source for you.

Basic Usage

Installing a package:

kryman -S [package-name]

Searching for a package:

kryman -F [package-name]

Updating the system:

sudo pacman -Syu

Desktop Environments

Kryon OS is designed to be flexible. While our default image comes with a installer that lets you chose the prefered desktop. You still have the freedom to install any other desktop environment you prefer.

To install a new desktop with our preinstalled theme you could see in photo gallery in installer, simply use Kryman. For example, to install GNOME:

sudo kryman -S gnome --md

"--md" forces kryman to use our modified version of package.

Troubleshooting

Encountering an issue? Here are some common solutions:

• If you have a broken package, try re-installing it from the source
• For driver issues, consult the Arch Wiki's section on graphics drivers.
