stillOS


Last Update: 2026-05-16 13:01 UTC


stillOS is an immutable Linux distribution based on AlmaLinux and featuring a customised GNOME desktop. It includes atomic updates and support for Flatpak packages. It also comes with a number of custom applications, such as stillControl (a tool for configuring desktop layouts), stillCenter (a software center with a curated store), stillTerminal (a custom terminal emulator that integrates with DistroBox containers and remote SSH instances), and Quick Setup (a first-boot tool to allow selection and installation of preferred applications). The project's goal is to provide a consumer-ready desktop Linux distribution that is user-friendly, stable, consistent and predictable.

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

I've been using StillOS since release, the install process was quite simple and painless. Wifi and Bluetooth worked out of the box, and my monitor (KOORUI 24E3) was detected correctly and required no tinkering to get resolution or refresh rate working.

[stillCenter]
The stillCenter and it's accompanying stillRating system are simple to use. The stillCenter features a wide variety of apps in all categories while maintaining stability and avoiding dependency conflicts as well as provides genuinely useful suggestions on what to install.

[stillControl]
StillControl comes with layouts that will be comfortable for Ubuntu, ElementaryOS, MacOS, ChromeOS, and Windows users alike. it also features built-in settings for the desktop, panel, dock, windows, mouse & keyboard, touchpad and arc menu as well as easy customization of theming and fonts.


StillOS comes with bottles pre-installed for running windows apps if needed. As well as FlatSeal and Gearlever for Flatpak permissions and Appimage management respectively. It also allows you to connect to Nextcloud, Google, Microsoft and Email servers.
I've never had problems with gaming, Steam runs smooth. never had problems running steam games or any other app.
