DMOS is a Portuguese desktop Linux distribution based on Debian 13 (Trixie). It features KDE Plasma 6 with Wayland and a distinctive visual identity extending from the boot menu and login screen to the desktop environment.
The distribution provides customised light and dark themes, a floating dock, and a first-run welcome wizard. Its DMOS Hub displays the time and news from user-selected sources. Flathub is enabled by default, allowing users to browse and install applications through KDE Discover.
DMOS includes a live environment and uses the Calamares graphical installer. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI systems, with Portuguese as its primary language and an English live session available.
This is free and open source software.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
