Feren OS 2023.01 is here and packs in it the latest updates for the current versions of Feren OS, ahead of major upcoming changes. Read the Feren OS 2023.01 release announcement ->
Feren OS Desktop with multiple applications

Designed around you, the user

With Feren OS, you get a desktop that is easy to initially set up, and then stays out of your way afterwards, with features users would expect such as an applications menu, task manager, and system tray, alongside other features.

Once you've set up Feren OS, you can immediately get started with common daily tasks, and use Store to get applications you're missing.

A whole world of applications

From office software, to internet browsers, to games, to media playback, and more, Feren OS comes with a whole variety of applications available in its, and our upstreams', repositories, all available from the Store and Web Browser Manager to download and install.

Furthermore, with Feren OS's lightweight resources usage, you can enjoy multitasking and running more applications at once, and with Feren OS you can update the applications you got from the Store alongside your system, rather than needing to go through multiple application update utilities for your installed applications.

Made on a Rock Solid Foundation

Feren OS is a British-made Linux Distribution that is based on Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux Distributions out there and well regarded for rock solid stability. This means you'll be able to do more tasks without much of the fuss with Feren OS①. This OS is built on the same stable Open Source base and Software that powers every system from the International Space Station to the US Department of Defence.

Designed for security and privacy¹

Say goodbye to waiting for updates to install to do your daily work, and say goodbye to being forced into sending your data to others②. Feren OS installs updates automatically③ while you work, meaning you are never interrupted when you are doing your day to day tasks④. With these continuous updates, Feren OS receives continuous security fixes and patches, which helps the OS tackle day to day threats⑤.

Reviews

"Feren OS is a great looking distro that's ideal for people switching from Windows to Linux."

"​Feren OS is a polished and well-stocked Linux distro that comes close to being an ideal replacement for Microsoft Windows and macOS. In fact, this impressive Linux OS is a very attractive replacement for any Linux distro."

① Performance and Stability may vary depending on hardware. While Feren OS works beautifully well on a lot of machines, some machines could have certain issues running the OS, and/or may not run the OS in the intended way due to certain unsupported drivers.
​A rule of thumb is to check how well the OS performs (might have reduced performance due to running off external storage) when running from a Live USB, CD or DVD before proceeding to install the OS.
② Comparison applies to Operating Systems only when just installed, and before launching any applications whatsoever. Feren OS will always tell you upfront if any data collection is being done by our intention, and will give you an option to prevent it.
③ Requires an Internet Connection.
④ Excludes Major Updates. These are special updates that appear only once every two years, and bring with them a huge load of updates.
⑤ Just be sure to get an antivirus for that extra layer of security, and make sure it's one for Linux, because of as Linux gets more popular, it'll become more of a popular target for attackers, though, for now at least, these attacks are still reasonably rare compared to attacks at leading Operating Systems.
¹​​ Feren OS includes Vivaldi, and while it may not be opened automatically on startup, the usage of Vivaldi requires an agreement to Vivaldi's Privacy Policy and EULA.
