About risiOS

risiOS is a Linux distro developed by Seattle-based team, the USA, based on Fedora with the default GNOME desktop.

risiOS is able to deliver on the latest cutting-edge features without breaking things mid-release cycle. Some of the modern features risiOS inherits from Fedora include BTRFS, Wayland (even on NVIDIA hardware), Pipewire, and more.

The distro elements include:

  • risiWelcome to help first-time users install drivers and codecs, setup FlatHub and RPMFusion, and find resources related to risiOS.
  • risiTweaks to change themes and layout settings, manage GNOME extensions and installers.
  • risiScript to generate a GUI wizard for bash/shell scripts and make things like installing third-party apps and system configuration easy.
  • Web apps (fork of Linux Mint’s web app manager with security measures) to discover new web apps and conveniently add them.

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors pre-installed

In the beginning of September, the developers updated ISO of risiOS 36 (build 20220903) and made ONLYOFFICE desktop app a pre-installed office suite.

Cameron Knauff, Founder of risiOS:

We are now partnering with ONLYOFFICE to pre-install it on risiOS. ONLYOFFICE is a great office suite with an easy user interface, excellent Microsoft Office document compatibility, and everything else you need from an office suite.
