Coming soon

BSD Build

The most experimental pearOS build — the same look and feel on a BSD base. In active, early development and not yet ready for daily use.

What's planned

Nothing here is final, and it can change before it ships — but here's the direction the BSD build is headed.

Soda DE

A desktop environment built from scratch for the BSD build, rather than a theme layered over an existing one.

Carbonate Compositor

The display server and compositor driving Soda DE, built to keep the desktop smooth and responsive.

Immutable base

A read-only, atomically-updated system base — updates apply as a whole, and a bad update can be rolled back.

System Integrity Protection

Core system paths are protected even from root, so apps and users can't quietly modify the base system.

Quick Connect

One-tap pairing for networks and nearby devices, without digging through settings menus.

A familiar filesystem layout

An Apple-inspired layout — /System and /Applications — with support for .app bundles, and more on the way.

…and plenty more we're not ready to talk about yet.

Available versions

The BSD build, still in early development.
