Kryon OS — Arch that isn't afraid to be easy.
Don't be discouraged, our system is also ideal for serious nerds and their advanced tasks—unlike a certain distro that sounds a lot like "Manjaro."
Switching from Windows or Ubuntu? We won’t ask you to update again before you can even boot.
What else?
You're not seriously gonna tell me you’re into this ancient Manjaro with its 5-year-old dinosaur kernel that somehow “magically” gets security updates every second — aka just endless bloated junk installs to sell your data straight to Alibaba’s evil overlords?
Performance First
Configured for low resource consumption—perfect for new and old devices alike.
Friendly Installer
Our graphical installer guides you through the process step-by-step. No terminal, no stress.
Secure & Fresh
Enjoy the latest packages thanks to a rolling-release model and our secure default settings.

A quick preview of the interface and system performance. See how simple and beautiful Arch Linux can be.
Pro tip: A short video (40-90s) showing the installer and desktop works wonders.

Kryon / Manjaro?
You seriously want to compare those two systems? Well then take this:
| Feature | Kryon OS | Manjaro |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Release | Rolling means you get the latest and greatest — carefully tested, fast, and reliable. | Rolling means gambling with your system every boot — will your “stable” update finally blow up that ancient 5-year-old kernel? It’s like playing Russian roulette with Linux! Spoiler: the jackpot is a crash, and Manjaro’s the dealer, dealing you broken packages as freebies. |
