## instantOS - Home
**instantOS** is an Arch Linux based distro that works out of the box but is
still aimed at power users. Everything is lightning fast, flexible and just
works.
In addition to the usual [Arch packages](https://github.com/instantOS/extra), we also package for the
[Nix](https://nixos.org/explore.html) universal package manager (and [NixOS](https://nixos.org)) via
**[instantNIX](https://github.com/instantOS/instantNIX/)**.
## Overview
### Just works
The user does not have to worry about everything from wifi to volume and
brightness, theming and notification-management. A graphical settings menu
ensures accessibility for anyone just like with a desktop environment.
### Power-user friendly
instantOS has lots of functionality that goes beyond that of a normal desktop
environment like tiling and instantASSIST that ensure a high skill ceiling
### Ultra lightweight
The RAM usage on idle is about 150-160Mb (tested on a fresh install on
Virtualbox). That is less than half of what the lightest Ubuntu flavor uses. It
comes with as little bloat as possible without sacrificing on features.
### Feature rich
The small footprint is **not** achieved through measures like slimming down the
kernel or compromising on features and visuals.
### Hybrid window manager
instantWM can do both tiling and floating windows with none of them being a
second class citizen. It maintains full feature parity with dwm when it comes
to tiling and the floating features can rival most conventional desktop environments.
### Keyboard and Mouse/touch support
A keyboard centered workflow can make you much more productive but getting rid
of the mouse is not the best thing for everyone. Tiling WMs actually make a lot
of sense for tablets since screen estate is important and if you are using a
graphics tablet it may be important as well to have a way of doing things with
the mouse. That's why the interface can be fully navigated using only the mouse.
## Support/Community
Until the user base outgrows this, any questions will be answered immediately
by the devs. You can open issues on [GitHub](https://github.com/instantOS),
ask for help on the [Discord server](https://dsc.gg/instantos), on the [Subreddit](https://reddit.com/r/instantos)
or write an email to [instantos@paperbenni.xyz](mailto:instantos@paperbenni.xyz)
