OPERATOR

Pragmatic, high-stability, modern Linux® based operating system

Principles

Forgiving

If a competent administrator accidentally bricks their Operator installation, it's the system's fault.

Same everywhere

Every Operator machine on the same release runs the same set of core packages and system software.

Low maintenance

A well-configured (or default) Operator machine should require little intervention to continue running.

Freedom

Operator is Free Software, and as such, an operator may use it as they please.

Installing software

Operator is image-based, meaning that software is stored apart from the system packages.

Features

Encrypted by default

Your disk, swap, and home are encrypted out of the box.

Secure Boot out of the box

Pre-signed images that enroll themselves in setup mode.

Updates that just work

Atomic OTA updates that roll back if a boot goes wrong.

Apps without the mess

Install software with Flatpak — sandboxed, no repo or dependency juggling.

Coming soon.

Operator is free software, developed openly. Read the source, dive into the docs, or grab the license — it's all yours.
