About

We make Linux feel finished.

Kernlux Development Labs is a software company building the applications and the operating system that make the Linux desktop ready for everyone.

Who we are

One idea, held for a long time.

Linux is powerful. The last stretch to a desktop that feels finished is the part we work on.

Linux is powerful, but the last stretch to a desktop that feels finished is still rough: a dock that feels right, a safe way to install and remove software, a backup you trust, a way back when an update goes wrong. Kernlux Development Labs builds that missing layer as a connected family of products: SnapDock, OTT os Browser, Jettison, Lifeboat, Rabbit Ears, Marquee Socials and our own operating system, OTT os, built on Arch Linux and Omarchy. Omarchy Store, our community app store for Omarchy Linux, is developed by Kernlux Development Labs and carries the MIT licence.

What we stand for

The things we do not trade away.

01

Checked before you trust it

We read the licence and the install scripts before anything is offered.

02

Every change is reversible

A backup, a restore point, a way back. Anything we change, you can undo.

03

Your computer is yours

No tracking, no lock-in, nothing that phones home behind your back.

04

Credit where it is due

We build on the work of many open-source projects, and we say so, on our credits page.

The name

Kernel, and light.

Kernlux joins kernel, the heart of the system, and lux, light. The mark is a crystal star made of two squares with a glowing core.
