What is VitruvianOS?

Vitruvian is an operating system based on Linux, heavily inspired by BeOS, bringing the elegance and simplicity of a classic operating system to modern hardware. It leverages Linux's hardware support while maintaining the responsive, user-friendly nature of BeOS.

Custom-built kernel modules and real-time patches deliver a low-latency desktop experience. Vitruvian supports the BeOS/Haiku API on Linux with minimal to no changes required to application source code.

The reference boot filesystems are XFS and SquashFS, both with full extended attribute support. XFS is the reference for standard desktop installs; SquashFS is used for live images and embedded targets. Ext4 and most other Linux filesystems with extended attribute support are also supported. The default kernel ships with PREEMPT_RT real-time patches; non-RT kernels are also supported. Filesystem indexing and live queries are planned for a future release.
