The perfect replacement for Mac and Windows.
Linux based operative systems designed to replicate the MacOS and Windows experience. Truly open-source and community driven. Elegant, stable and auditable.
Macos, Windows and Android integration
With Pulsar, you can use the apps of your Android phone as desktop apps, you can run a fully MacOS desktop from official servers and execute Windows apps as native apps WITHOUT WINE, WITH REAL WINDOWS.
100% Usable
Unlike other distributions that try to replicate the look and feel, Pulsar OS is 100% functional in both of its flavors. You'll have the same experience as in a normal Linux environment.
Rock-solid base
Unlike other customized distributions, we are not based on Ubuntu or Arch. Pulsar OS is based on the mother of them all: Debian.
Fully Auditable
Everything is built on GitHub Actions, whose workflow and source code are auditable. We are the first Linux distribution that is 100% replicable from source code.
Designed for Your Workflow
Pulsar OS is distributed in two target desktop configurations tailored to mimic macOS and Windows.
Tahoe
It perfectly replicates the aesthetics of MacOS, even improving usability.
Wintux
Forget it, you don't need Winux or Ubuntu, you need something auditable and just like the Windows you love.
Seamless Integrations
Access your other environments directly from Pulsar OS with native system integrations.
Macboat
Run a fully featured macOS desktop environment directly from official servers. Enjoy perfect Visual alignment and software compatibility.
Winboat

Droidtux

Perfect for companies, individuals and institutions
Pulsar OS is designed to fit any environment — professional, personal or institutional. Transparency, sovereignty and familiarity in a single system.
100% auditable code
One of the few distributions with fully auditable source code. Everything is built on GitHub Actions and every line can be verified.
Sovereign and European
Developed entirely in Europe, with no dependency on foreign big-tech technologies or services. Real digital sovereignty.
Community-driven
Built by and for the community. Decisions are made openly and transparently, with no hidden corporate interests.
Familiar for everyone
Perfectly replicates the designs of mainstream operating systems. Both individual users and company employees will feel right at home.
Current state
We are moving from being users who develop GNOME extensions and apps to building a full distribution. This is new territory, and we welcome feedback on any bumps along the road.
Community
We want to grow by delegating responsibility, not by concentrating decisions in a handful of people. If you want to become a contributor, get in touch.
