Why OldOS?

Optimized for older setups

Modern operating systems bloated their hardware requirements. OldOS uses a slim architecture that maximizes your GPU and CPU output, channeling all your hardware power directly into your games instead of heavy background tasks.

Steam & Wine Ready

Pre-configured Steam, Wine, and RetroArch. Run PC and console titles out of the box.

Lightweight Desktop

Features a highly responsive LXQt environment that leaves up to 85% of your RAM free for gaming.

Console Mode

Boot straight into your game library. Clean UI designed to be operated with just a controller.

Perfect Hardware Match

Tailored specifically for Intel/AMD chips from 2015–2020 with standard 4 GB RAM configurations.

Debian 13 Core

Leverages Debian 13 Testing for up-to-date graphics drivers (Mesa) and controller firmware.

Open Source & Free

No telemetry, no background tracking, no cost. Pure performance for your rig.
