Arch's rolling power,
a lightweight desktop.

SetuOS is a Linux distribution built on Arch Linux with the stable linux-lts kernel and a fast, polished XFCE desktop — a bridge between a cutting-edge foundation and an effortless everyday experience.

About

A bridge between two worlds.

In Bengali, “setu” means bridge — and that is exactly what SetuOS is. It connects Arch Linux's rolling, always-fresh foundation with the calm, lightweight speed of the XFCE desktop.

Under the hood it runs on Arch Linux with the linux-lts kernel, so you get a modern package ecosystem without giving up long-term kernel stability.

SetuOS is a solo hobby project, designed and built by one developer who simply loves Linux — crafted slowly, carefully, and with a lot of attention to how it feels.
