Oreon is gaming ready!
Thanks to the work from our team, we were able to port the proper packages and dependencies to provide full gaming support to Oreon. You may have use WINE or Proton as your compatibility layer for some games, but that’s okay because it works! You can use multiple game launchers such as Lutris, Steam, Bottles, and more.
What’s the point?
Oreon is the greatest starting point when switching from other operating systems because Oreon makes the switch as easy and fast as possible. Oreon follows the same long-term support timeline AlmaLinux does, meaning you will receive around ten years of total support for your computer. People have tried using Enterprise Linux for daily use in the past and failed due to the lack of features and compatibility, Oreon is here to fix that.
What makes Oreon different when compared to other Enterprise Linux distributions?
Oreon is aimed to add all the missing packages and fix all the present problems that other Enterprise Linux distributions have, one of the biggest being WINE 32-bit and 64-bit application support. Try comparing another Enterprise Linux distribution to Oreon side-by-side and you will almost instantly tell a difference.
Benefits
Better compatibility
Our goal is to provide the most packages and dependencies that were never included in Enterprise Linux as possible. We are working every day to port more and more to make the user experience better by the day. We often release a set of new packages every few months because it has to go through beta testing first.
Great performance
Oreon runs better than most other Linux distributions due to the stable foundation it bases on. You can also use it on older hardware to revive your old machine while still having a usable operating system experience.
An optimistic gaming experience
With the required packages and dependencies we’ve ported to Oreon in order to get WINE and Proton to work, you can run games exactly the way you want them, which you can’t do in any other Enterprise Linux distribution.
Awesome stability
Oreon uses AlmaLinux as it’s base, which means long-term stability is one of Oreon’s biggest benefits.
Respected privacy
We believe privacy is number one. Oreon doesn’t collect any user data whatsoever.
Getting started
Installation
Installing Oreon is an easy task that only takes a few minutes. We recommend that you use a cross-platform tool such as Etcher to flash the ISO image to your storage device.
Source code
Applications
After installation, you must install the Flatpak repository file in order to get your applications from the built-in Software Center. Don’t forget to reboot for the changes to take affect.
