Vasak
We keep moving forward with the development of VasakOS, and we decided to release Alpha 3, which has many improvements and fixes with respect to the previous version. It is still in Alpha state, so it is common to run into bugs or unfinished features. Any report can be made in the repositories and/or in the official communication channels.
The people behind Vendefoul Linux decided to make a version of their distribution with our desktop. It is in an experimental state for now, because at the moment vasak-desktop does not have broad compatibility with other non-systemd inits; we will work together anyway to make the desktop integration easier.
We tried to start 2026 with everything, so we decided to release alpha 2 and to make many changes to the way we have been working…
The other day we mentioned “We are looking for a default icon pack” and that we were reviewing all the icon packs that were sent to us. Today we want to invite you to take part in the vote for the icon pack we consider the most suitable for the VasakOS desktop.
We are currently at an early development stage and the dream of having our own icons is still far away, not only because of how much work we still have to do with the desktop itself, but also because we lack a designer who can help us create a default icon pack.
Today we decided to release a sort of visual DEMO of what VasakOS is. Even though it is not available to the general public, it is a sort of video that shows what the VasakOS environment looks like and how it behaves. It was recorded on a real computer and not in a virtual machine, so the real performance of the operating system can be seen. It was recorded on a computer with a Ryzen 5 processor and 16GB of RAM.
