Why takhiOS
It's Arch — with the installer, filesystem, and polish Arch never had.
The web installer
A 15-page Svelte wizard with a visual partition editor, hardware detection, and a live terminal.
bcachefs, first-class
Native encryption, snapshots, tiered storage, and checksums — with full GUI support.
Every desktop, one click
45 desktop profiles, paired with the right display manager automatically.
AUR + curated apps
177 curated apps and full AUR search during install. Export your setup as JSON.
Safe by design
Type the disk name to confirm any wipe. Windows partitions are locked and labeled.
Supply-chain integrity
SecAdvisor verifies every package via SHA-256, with a live integrity stream.
Limine bootloader
BIOS and UEFI from one config — including CSM boot for 20-year-old machines.
NVIDIA + nouveau, both
Modern GPUs get nvidia-open; old cards fall back to the open-source nouveau driver.
Persistent & encrypted — your whole OS on a stick
Actually persistent
Not a read-only live ISO. Files, settings, and apps survive every reboot.
Encrypted by default
bcachefs native encryption — a passphrase at boot.
Your desk, anywhere
Boot any PC. Your data stays on the stick, never touching the host.
tmpfs keeps you fast & clean
Volatile state in RAM, not on the stick.
Survives the sudden unplug
Copy-on-write journaling + checksums, tuned for removable media.
No telemetry, ever
No tracking, no cookies, no phone-home.
Who should use takhiOS
The Nomad
Carry your whole OS on a USB stick — boot any PC, work, unplug.
The Exposed Professional
Journalists, activists, lawyers. Encryption, no telemetry, data never touches the host.
The Developer
Real Arch + AUR. Reproduce a fleet from one exported JSON config.
The Hardware Reviver
A 20-year-old laptop or a new RTX — one image boots both.
The Explorer
Try 45 desktops from a single USB before you commit.
The Admin
Deploy identical machines with exported configs and PXE boot.
