Built by the community
We don't want to be a one-person distro. Errors, ideas, audits and testing all live at the Github Project (posted here manually)
Discord
Chat with the community, ask questions and follow development in real time.
Matrix
An open alternative for everyone who prefers federation and open protocols.
GitHub
Every repository, every build and every line of code is public and auditable.
Project Board
See what is pending, in progress or done — and pick a task.
Reported errors
Known issues are tracked openly. Found one we don't know about? Report it.
[BUG] scroll not working on released version
[BUG] Change Wallpaper & sddm should obtain the default wallpaper of the user
Bug Description
Currently the wallpaper is set to not be able to be changed. That cannot be, it must be able to be changed. In addition, we must add custom wallpapers to part of the current one.
SDDM should get the user’s wallpaper as well as the lockscreen.
Ideas
The roadmap is shaped by the community. Proposals are reviewed openly.
[BUG] global menu extension links
- Version / Commit SHA:
[IDEA] modify gnome apps to make it like apple
I have two options: patch the ones that have already been created or repackage them myself (the latter seems the most ethical to me).
[IDEA] Multimedia version
Crear algo mejor que zimaos: Un debian o arch linux, con plasma bigscreen, control remoto de casaos (tuneado con nuestr logo), configurador inicial remoto (tipo umbrel). suite arr* configurada, jellyfin, vacuumtube, android emulator…
[IDEA] Siri, but is openclaw
Make a Siri with a very lightweight local model and openclaw, interface using SiriWave and audio detection and put it in the form of a GNOME extension
Roadmap
What we are planning next — new editions and ideas we are exploring. Some of these decisions need your input.
TubeOS
A distro focused on TV and NAS. Save your videos or movies and enjoy them on your television, everything that Android TV or Apple doesn’t do.
It would include CasaOS and PLasma Bigscreen
Wintux — Windows-inspired edition
A Windows-inspired edition of Pulsar OS for people coming from Windows.
What we are thinking about:
- Centered taskbar, start menu and snap layouts.
Open decision — we need your input: should Wintux be built on KDE Plasma or GNOME? We are leaning towards KDE Plasma for a closer Windows feel, but we want the community to weigh in on Discord and Matrix.
Help wanted
Concrete tasks where the community can help — audits, testing, translations and documentation. Everything is credited.
Nothing open right now — check back soon.
Get your name on the wall
Pulsar OS grows because people recommend it and help it. We want to thank the people who make that happen — publicly.

Your name joins theCollaborators list, with a note describing what you did.
How contributing works
Pulsar OS is open source, built by and for the community. Whether you're a developer, designer, translator, documentation writer or simply want to help out, there is a place for you.
GitHub Organization
All of Pulsar OS source code is available on GitHub. Explore the repositories, open issues, send pull requests and follow development in real time. The project board shows which tasks are pending, in progress or completed.
AI-assisted development policy
We welcome pull requests developed with the help of AI assistants, as long as they meet the following requirements:
- Testing: Every AI-generated PR must pass the appropriate testing before being submitted. We don't accept untested code.
- Bilingual comments: All comments in the code must be written in both English and Spanish so the codebase remains accessible to our community. AI tools handle this effortlessly.
AI is a powerful productivity tool, not a replacement for responsibility. If your PR is well tested and properly documented, it will be reviewed like any other.
Other ways to contribute
You don't need to be a programmer to help. You can contribute with documentation, translations, graphic design, bug reports, or simply by sharing Pulsar OS with others. Every bit helps.
