Got Questions? We've Got Answers

What is Xkaliber OS in a nutshell?

Xkaliber OS is a user-friendly Linux system built on the super-stable Debian foundation. We pre-configure it for desktops, laptops, and popular gaming handhelds, making powerful features like local AI accessible without the usual hassle.

Is it truly beginner-friendly?

Absolutely. We simplify installation, handle driver setups, and provide easy ways to get software (like the Pop!_Shop). Our goal is to make Linux powerful *and* approachable, even if you're new to it.

Can I really run Windows or Android apps?

Yes! Run many Windows apps easily using integrated tools (we recommend Bottles!). Access a world of Android apps, including the Google Play Store (optional), through our streamlined Waydroid integration.

What hardware does it support?

It's great on standard desktops/laptops (with excellent NVIDIA & AMD support) and shines on handhelds like the Steam Deck, Legion Go, ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and more, often with device-specific optimizations.

Why not just use standard Debian?

We *are* Debian at the core, but we save you time and frustration. We add essential drivers, handy tools (like Steam, AI setup), hardware tuning, and UI polish, delivering a ready-to-use system right out of the box. It's Debian, conveniently enhanced.
