Discover an intuitive operating system with a modern user interface, efficient multitasking, advanced networking, security features and respectful privacy. Powered by Linux - designed to be lightweight for a fast and versatile computing experience.

There is Dahlia OS which looks fairly promising but development takes time and it is only a small amount of people.

I like the idea of the OS being more embedded focused like Android and Chrome OS but I don’t want Chrome or Google.

Is there anything else I should look at?

    I think that is the goal of https://universal-blue.org/

    I don’t play with anything Google packages with hardware. Privacy and security with google always means their privacy against their competitors and security means whomever google considers a risk.

      Universal blue is closer to regular Linux but maybe it is still worth a look.

      Also “cloud native” is a little off putting. I might just try Silverblue

        “Cloud Native” means uBlue’s OS images are basically Docker images, but meant tu run on bare metal instead of inside virtualization, that are built automatically with GitHub actions.

        The project itself is super interesting. It’s not a distro, it’s an alternative automated build pipeline toolkit for Silverblue/CoreOS that lets anyone build their perfect atomic image. It’s still 100% Fedora+rpmfusion under the hood.

        UBlue’s official images have massive quality of life improvements over Silverblue.

        Cloud native just means that it uses tools like distrobox. I have used both and ublue has way better defaults: preinstalled drivers, codecs, update tool. Aurora and Bluefin are very similar, one kde one gnome, but bazzite is pretty different, it comes with a bunch of gaming features and tools and waydroid
