Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about installing, running, and updating Caelaris Linux.

Yes! Caelaris Linux inherits the true rolling release nature of Arch Linux. Once installed, you will never need to reinstall for a major version upgrade. Simply running yay -Syu or updating via the Welcome app updates your entire system to the newest kernel, mesa drivers, and desktop packages.
Both KDE Plasma 6 (default) and GNOME 4x run natively on Wayland and are packaged into a single ISO. During live preview, you can test both or hot-switch in 2 seconds via caelaris-switch-desktop. On installed systems, you can freely select Plasma or GNOME from the SDDM session dropdown at every login.
Because GitHub Releases enforces a 2GB limit per file, the ISO is split into .part-00, .part-01, and .part-02. Download all parts and combine.bat into the same folder, then double-click combine.bat. It will automatically concatenate them using binary copy into a complete, verified ISO!
Caelaris includes pro-grade kernel sysctl parameters: vm.max_map_count = 2147483642 (preventing Star Citizen / Unreal Engine 5 Proton crashes), low swappiness, CAKE network packet queueing, Steam, Feral GameMode, MangoHud overlay (32 & 64-bit), and full 32-bit Vulkan driver support.
The Caelaris Graphical Installer includes live USB media protection to ensure you cannot accidentally overwrite your boot drive, plus a bold confirmation warning. When choosing a disk, make sure to select a dedicated drive for Caelaris (or install inside a virtual machine) because the installer formats the chosen target disk.
Yes! We provide dedicated ARM64 releases built specifically for single-board computers, supporting the Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. In the Download section above, select the Raspberry Pi SBCs tab to download either the hybrid ARM64 ISO or the pre-configured .img.xz disk image for 1-click writing with Raspberry Pi Imager. On the 1GB Raspberry Pi 3B+, Caelaris leverages Broadcom VideoCore IV KMS drivers and active zstd ZRAM swap compression to ensure smooth, responsive Wayland desktop operation.
Absolutely! Caelaris Linux provides full 64-bit ARM (AArch64) support for modern ARM PCs:
  • Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4): You can run Caelaris with 100% native CPU performance and Metal-accelerated GPU graphics inside UTM on macOS, or install it as a bare-metal dual-boot OS via the standard Asahi U-Boot loader.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite & Plus Laptops: Copilot+ PCs (such as Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, Dell XPS 13 9345, and ASUS Vivobook S 15) support standard UEFI AArch64 booting. Download the caelaris-arm64-pc.iso from the ARM64 Laptops & PCs tab above, flash it to a USB drive in DD mode, disable Secure Boot in firmware settings, and boot directly into KDE Plasma 6 or GNOME with Mesa Freedreno Adreno GPU acceleration!
