Q4OS is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed to offer a familiar environment (Trinity) to the Windows user who is considering changing operating system.
The distribution features simple accessories and provides stable APIs for complex third-party applications, such as Google Chrome, VirtualBox, and various development tools.
It is a fast and powerful operating system that offers a highly productive work environment, with the security, reliability, long-term stability, and conservative integration of verified new Linux features.
The system is distinguished by its speed and very low hardware requirements. It works flawlessly on brand new machines as well as on very old computers.
The system is also very useful for virtual environments in the cloud due to its very low hardware requirements.
From the appearance to the installation of applications, everything is reminiscent of Microsoft's operating system. If you pay attention to the images, you will notice that even the application installers seem to be from another platform..
Proprietary codecs and drivers
On the welcome screen you will easily find the option to install “Multimedia Codecs” and drivers. No problem, just click on the button and a wizard will appear. With a few clicks on “Next” you will see the “Install” option to install your codecs and drivers.
New features
The new Q4OS 'Orion' 1.8.7 is the latest stable release of the distribution and comes with various improvements and fixes.
The default start menu named 'Bourbon' has been tuned for greater functionality. The first Q4OS login scripts, for example the automatic web browser installer, work on all supported architectures, including arm64 and armhf.
Several significant modifications were made to Q4OS Orion to allow installation under other Debian-based operating systems.
System package updates and important security fixes are also provided. All updates are immediately available to existing Q4OS users from the distribution's repositories.
