Upgrading from 1.0.0

1.0.0 was based on Arch, so 1.0.1 is a fresh install. It wipes the disk you install it on. Back up first.

Download

Each file boots straight to the KDE desktop as a live system.

Write it to a USB stick of 2 GB or more. This erases the stick.

  • Rufus on Windows: pick the .iso. If Rufus asks, choose DD Image mode.
  • balenaEtcher on Windows, macOS or Linux: pick the .iso and flash.
  • Linux: sudo dd if=halcyraos-1.0.1-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

Requirements

  • 2 GB RAM
  • 64-bit or 32-bit x86 PC with UEFI or legacy BIOS, or an ARM64 machine with UEFI (turn Secure Boot off)
  • 20 GB disk

Known issues

  • Not yet tested on real hardware.
  • The 32-bit build uses Debian 12 with Plasma 5, so its top bar is plain and has no clock.
  • The live system keeps changes in memory only, so they are gone after a restart.
