ZimaOS is a full personal cloud OS developed by the team based on CasaOS (which despite its name is not an operating system). ZimaOS is a complete operating system with system-level support for remote access, RAID configuration, and essential features like OTA updates. It is designed specifically for ZimaCube, focusing on stability, unified data management, and local LLM capabilities.
Unlike traditional NAS devices that often feature complex setups, ZimaOS offers a sleek and elegant design philosophy, tailored for home and SOHO environments. It inherits from the CasaOS community, which over the past few years has grown to include over 20,000 Discord community users who participate in the governance and iteration of the app store. The store features hundreds of third-party applications, covering media servers, music servers, downloaders, web scrapers, web servers, git servers, smart home technologies, and more. Recently, it has increasingly supported applications like ChatGPT UI, Diffusion, and other text-to-image and local chat AI capabilities.

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. |
