Choose your edition
Two ways to run Draft OS
Same foundation, same apps, same care. Pick the temperament that fits how you work.
Immutable Edition
Predictable & recoverable
Atomic updates · instant rollback
- Read-only base, atomic image updates
- Roll back to a working state in one step
- Apps via Flatpak and containers
- Ideal for gaming, HTPCs and “just works”
The Draft OS difference
Considered defaults, no compromises
We build the whole system around a few ideas: speed, predictability and respect for the person using it.
Atomic updates & fearless rollback
On the Immutable edition, updates apply as one image or not at all. If something misbehaves, boot the previous version — no reinstall, no panic.
$ draft rollback
✓ Reverted to 2026.1 · reboot to apply
✓ Reverted to 2026.1 · reboot to apply
Fast out of the box
An optimized kernel, a modern scheduler and x86-64-v3 builds. Responsiveness you feel from the first boot — no tuning required.
Secure by default
LUKS encryption, Secure Boot, sandboxed apps.
Private by design
No telemetry. No trackers. No accounts.
Open source, built in the open
GPL-3.0, developed on Draft OS itself. Every decision and roadmap item is public.
Always fresh
A rolling-release Arch base plus Flatpak — current apps and drivers without waiting for the next major release.
