Simple. Friendly. Fresh.

Download Free See it in action →

Built for people,
not power users.

RippleOS takes everything you love about Ubuntu and wraps it in a clean, opinionated experience that just works — right from the live USB.

Pure Ubuntu Base

100% Ubuntu Noble (24.04) under the hood. No Debian repos, no hybrid mirrors. Full compatibility with all Ubuntu software, PPAs and Snap packages.

GNOME, Polished

GNOME Shell with Yaru Dark theme, Ubuntu fonts, and hand-tuned defaults. Pinned apps, dark mode, and a custom animated wallpaper from the very first boot.

Ready Out of the Box

Firefox, Discord, Flatpak + Flathub, GNOME Software, PulseAudio, and a full codec stack. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Security First

UFW firewall on by default with sensible rules. Unattended security upgrades keep you patched automatically. No fuss, maximum protection.

Live + Installer

Boot and try without touching your disk, or click "Install RippleOS" to run the Calamares graphical installer. Set up in minutes.

Open Source & Free

No license keys, no telemetry, no subscriptions. RippleOS is completely free — built on open-source foundations, forever.

Your new home screen.

A dark, focused GNOME environment. Calm. Responsive. Yours.
