Tangential is a GNU/Linux
operating system
preconfigured
the way Scott Bradford likes it.

That's all.


KDE Plasma

It's good

GUI Pkg. Mgmt.

It's easy

Sane Defaults

It's normal

Useful Software

It's ready


There are two editions. Both are GNU/Linux operating systems with the KDE Plasma desktop and nearly-identical configurations.


Tangential EOS

Based on EndeavourOS (and Arch)
Always up-to-date

Details and Installation

Tangential EOS is a customized installation of EndeavourOS, which provides an Arch Linux experience "without the hassle of installing it manually." It uses a rolling release model, so it is fast-moving and always has the most up-to-date software.


Tangential DE

Based on Debian 12 (Bookworm)
Stable and secure

Details and Installation

Tangential DE is a customized installation of Debian, "the universal operating system." It uses a slow, traditional release model that emphasizes stability and security. It'll run on almost anything, but it might not have the most current software.
