ZestISO is a rolling-release desktop Linux distribution built on Arch Linux.
It’s available in two editions: “KDE Gaming” and “Xfce”. The KDE Gaming edition targets modern hardware and includes a wide range of gaming and multimedia software, along with HDR (High Dynamic Range) video support. The Xfce edition is a lighter alternative aimed at older or less powerful systems.
Both editions include the Wine compatibility layer for running certain Windows applications and games, and they support Microsoft NTFS file systems. ZestISO also features its own graphical installation tool known as the “ZestISO Installer.”

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. |
