VeloxOS is shifting gears! We are fully re-architecting the distribution, moving away from Arch Linux to a completely custom, declarative NixOS foundation.
Fast by design.
Stable by architecture.
VeloxOS is a performance-focused Linux distribution built around a curated snapshot release model. Designed for gamers and power users, it delivers modern software stacks and system responsiveness — without sacrificing stability or control.
OS: VeloxOS v2026.2.0 (NixOS-based)
Base: NixOS Unstable / Flakes
Features: Declarative & Reproducible
Compositor: Niri Wayland
Shell: Zsh / Velox-Prompt
Status: Phase 2 (NixOS Core & Flakes Architecture) is currently In Progress
Why VeloxOS?
The perfect balance between cutting-edge performance and out-of-the-box usability.
Built for Speed
Powered by NixOS Flakes and tailored kernel tweaks, we minimize latency and squeeze every bit of performance out of your gaming hardware.
Zero Setup Required
Skip the hours of manual editing. Essential tools like Steam, ProtonUp-Qt and ZRAM-Tweaks are baked into the system-declarations.
100% Declarative
No more broken updates. Your entire OS state is defined in code. Rollback instantly if something goes wrong, keeping your setup clean and pristine.
Under Reconstruction
The upcoming version of VeloxOS is being rebuilt from scratch using Nix Flakes.
NixOS Architecture Transition Concept Active
We are currently porting our automated performance optimizations and game-launcher integrations into modular Nix-expressions.
