WinKDE OS is a Debian-based Linux distribution developed in Algeria by Achour Djerroud (Achour Tech Pro). It combines Debian 12 Bookworm with a customised KDE Plasma desktop and targets older computers with limited hardware resources.
The distribution provides a desktop environment with custom themes and wallpapers. It also includes Wine and Proton support for running compatible Windows applications and games. The project aims to reduce resource consumption while retaining the functionality of a full KDE Plasma desktop.
WinKDE OS supports legacy BIOS and UEFI booting, provides a graphical installation process and supports installation alongside Windows.

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. |
