Origami Linux is joining RakuOS

After connecting with the creator of RakuOS, it became clear our projects share the exact same goals, direction, and technology stacks. RakuOS is paving the way for the future of immutable Linux, and we are joining forces to build it together.

1
A Unified Future

The Origami creator is stepping into a Project co-lead role at RakuOS. RakuOS is a completely unique atomic distribution—the only one that allows you to run dnf with package overlays using its own custom software center.

2
The New COSMIC Edition & Styling

RakuOS’s COSMIC edition will become exactly what Origami is today. Furthermore, the signature Origami styling will be officially ported to all three RakuOS desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, and COSMIC).

The Migration Wizard

When you update your system, you will be greeted by the migration wizard to guide you through rebasing to RakuOS. Once complete, your system will look and feel exactly like Origami and will continue to use the performance-tuned CachyOS Kernel.

Welcome to RakuOS

Origami Linux is moving to RakuOS.

Why you're seeing this

RakuOS is where future updates and support will continue.

What happens next
  • • Your system is rebased to the RakuOS image
  • • Your files in /home are normally preserved
  • • You'll restart once the migration is ready
Secure Boot

If Secure Boot is enabled, you'll need one quick BIOS/UEFI change before the first RakuOS boot.

Before the first RakuOS boot
1. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS/UEFI
After RakuOS starts
2. Run sudo rakuos enroll-secureboot-key
3. Restart, turn Secure Boot back on, and enroll the new key using password rakuos
Important: Please back up anything important before continuing.
