About Q4OS
Q4OS is a desktop operating system built on Debian. It is meant to be quick to set up and easy to use for newcomers and experienced users, and it runs on less powerful computers. Its own tools help trim the installed system down to the components you need.
The project follows Debian's development model and puts stability first. A Lookswitcher tool changes the visual theme of the desktop. Besides the regular PC release there is an ARM edition, and the project recently released Q4OS 6.9 and a Q4OS Imager tool.
