🛈 development temporarily suspended 🛈
As of September 22 2025 development of OS/RX has been suspended, more information to come shortly.
OS/RX is the flagship operating system of the Powerstation family of Linux systems. It's a fairly lightweight distribution requiring a 64-bit processor (x64 or ARM64), 512MB of memory and 8GB of storage. Any machine from the Core 2 Duo era or newer should be able to comfortably run OS/RX.
Supports x64 and Aarch64
While the development of the PowerPC64 port is still very much in full swing, recent cybersecurity concerns in the Linux community along with reported driver issues have been sufficiently notable as to warrant a refresh. It's a minor yet important release. If you already have an OS/RX install make sure to update it as soon as possible.

As Debian 13's release candidates rolled out development started right away. Now, mere weeks later, it's confirmed that OS/RX 28 will be releasing by the end of the year! It's also going to be the most ported version of OS/RX as it will support x64, Aarch64, PowerPC64, RISCV64, x86 and even S390X mainframes! Out of these Aarch64 and x64 will release first on October 1 2025, then later in the year at a currently undecided date the other ports will be also available.
Powerstation OS/RX 27 Build 4201, also known as the June 2025 refresh, is now available for download for x64 machines. It addresses bugs surrounding root privileges, APT repositories, XFCE graphical issues and other minor issues. Download OS/RX 27 "Sauter" June Refresh
