Origami Linux is a Fedora-based desktop Linux distribution with immutable root filesystem and atomic updates. It uses System76's COSMIC desktop. The distribution does not offer a "live" mode; it brings up the Anaconda system installer right after the initial boot for a guided installation instead. Besides the default image that uses the standard Fedora Linux kernel, the project offers a separate image with a CachyOS kernel (a Linux kernel with various performance optimisations and CPU enhancements developed by the CachyOS distribution project). A third image, with drivers for recent NVIDIA graphics cards, is also available. Origami Linux intends to be minimal, clean, customisable and suitable for development work.
