Introduction

CatOS is an open-source,Arch-based,out-of-the-box Linux distribution designed to provide an excellent operating system user experience.

Arch is an excellent Linux distribution, known for being fast, stable, and secure, providing a great experience even on older computers. However, its purely command-line based installation process is complex and requires a solid understanding of computers. You need to dedicate significant time, effort, and patience to it. Even after a successful installation, you still face a series of configuration tasks, including installing a graphical interface, configuring software repositories, installing input methods, installing graphics drivers, and setting up an AUR helper. Not everyone has the time, effort, and patience to complete all of this, and many newcomers may be deterred from entering the world of Arch by this challenging process. This is precisely why CatOS was created. It inherits the advantages of Arch while making it easy to install, out-of-the-box, and more user-friendly. Without complicated installation and configuration, you can experience the charm of Arch.

Furthermore, CatOS is carefully crafted on top of Arch Linux, using KDE Plasma as its default desktop environment. It has been customized and modified to address its shortcomings, aiming to provide users with the best possible user experience.
