01THE SYSTEM

A live system.
No commitment.

ValantiaOS Gaming is an experimental Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie) live ISO for AMD64 PCs. Boot from removable media to explore an XFCE desktop without installing it to your disk.

It is an independent project in active development—not an official Debian release, and not yet a promise of hardware compatibility or gaming performance.

02WHAT'S INSIDE

Solid ground
for the unknown.

Real components from the current build configuration. No imagined specs.

01 / DESKTOP

XFCE desktop

A lightweight desktop environment with a familiar panel, session, and everyday tools.

02 / GRAPHICS

Mesa Vulkan

Vulkan drivers and tools included for supported graphics hardware.

03 / GAMING

GameMode + MangoHud

Gaming performance profiles and an in-game performance overlay.

04 / FOUNDATION

Debian Live

Built with Debian Trixie and live-build in an auditable workflow.

Selected firmware packages are included. Hardware support varies by device.

03FROM POWER-ON TO DESKTOP

A short trip
through the boot.

The image boots through a GRUB live menu, starts the live Linux system, then opens the XFCE session. This is a sequence preview, not a captured boot log.

BEFORE YOU BOOT

Back up important data. Writing an ISO to USB erases the selected drive. Test on hardware you can afford to troubleshoot; compatibility is not guaranteed.

06BUILD FROM SOURCE

Make it
your own.

CI builds inside Debian Trixie with live-build. Local builds need Docker with privileged-container support and network access.

07GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
cross over.

Can I use it without installing?

Yes. ValantiaOS is a live ISO. Boot from USB to try the environment; writing that USB erases its selected contents.

Is it ready for daily use?

No stability or hardware compatibility guarantees. It is an experimental project; avoid relying on it for important work or data.

How do I verify the download?

Download the SHA256SUMS file included with the same GitHub Actions artifact and verify the ISO against it before writing the image.

What is the live login?

Current live session uses username user, password live, and passwordless sudo. Live-only credentials; do not reuse on an installed or network-facing system.
