Revive your old PC. Save money and help the planet.

We created Nil OS from scratch on Root Core Linux based on Debian with minimal specifications that allow it to run even on PCs with 2000 CPUs.

Low requirements = fewer expensive PCs that require harming the environment to create.

Base.

Root Core Linux - The kernel is based on Debian and has a full-fledged sealed mini Linux inside. The most popular OS built on it is Nil OS, as well as Clea OS, Back OS, and others.

Secure.

EVADE Security - A security system for various Live CD operating systems for storing user-entered data, encrypting it, and then creating a certificate that does not change the archive (if the archive is changed, the certificate expires and is no longer valid). It encrypts it and places it in the archive, after which it encrypts the archive again using the KTK system.

Data protection.

Before making any changes to your OS, we always save your data and run the 3-step KTK encryption system: (Save, Encrypt, Certify)

A world of incredible Apps.

Nil OS, due to its structure on Root Core Linux, which is built on Debian, has support for APT Debian packages, and you can download everything you want from there.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I download Nil OS to a flash drive or other disk?
Of course! You can install this OS on any drive using any installer, such as Rufus. The main thing is that the drive has at least 512 MB of space.

Can I run Nil OS in RAM only?
To run Nil OS in RAM, you need to quickly press "Esc" at startup, and then select the "RAM Only" mode at the very bottom.

Why is there a red screen with a skull?
This is a module (System) certification error. This means the size specified during module preparation and verification does not match the current size. If everything is correct and the current size is correct, please contact support through issues in the original Nil OS Github Repo. Otherwise, do not modify modules or view their contents to avoid damaging their integrity or size. (If something is wrong, you can always replace them by downloading a ready-made working firmware .iso, unpacking the module in question from there, and replacing it on a flash drive or disk.)

Is Nil OS paid?
No, you can download Nil OS completely free of charge as an .iso image and install it on a flash drive. You can completely modify it, but you must indicate the authorship. Also, all the code is posted on Github.

Does Nil OS collect data?
In the latest version 6.6 Stable there is no, but perhaps in future versions only information will be collected that the system has started, which means that it has downloaded for the report the number of downloaded OS

How long will it take to get the next OTA update?
Typically, minor updates such as security updates, vulnerability testing, and adding/removing something minor take up to a week, while larger ones take a month or more.
