Xispa OS: Brazilian Linux distro based on DebianA Brazilian Linux distribution based on Debian. Explore the experience in the simulator while Xispa OS keeps evolving.
How it works inside
Kernel · GNU tools
At the core is GNU/Linux: the kernel that talks to your hardware and the tools that make everyday work possible. We clear out everything unnecessary, heavy or outdated, and keep a foundation that is fast, predictable and yours.
Packages · APT · Security
On top of the kernel comes Debian, with its packages, APT and a stable base trusted by people who take their systems seriously. That is where the security updates and the calm pace that Xispa OS inherits come from.
Wayland · Windows · Panel
KDE Plasma and KWin take care of the windows, the panel and the Wayland session. It is the layer that Xispa OS refines with its own shell, so the desktop stays light, coherent and to the point.
Refined look · Always up to date
On top of that solid base comes the finish: a coherent interface, with the same visual language across windows, menus and apps, refined down to the smallest detail. And, as part of the Debian world, Xispa OS follows the project's security updates and improvements, so you keep moving forward without losing your system's identity.
An experience designed as a whole
Every Xispa OS detail was designed to make everyday work more direct: files within sight, organized apps, music close by, and movement that helps explain what is happening.
01 — Files
Rather than hiding your places in a side column, Xispa Files keeps them at the top: Home, documents, downloads, music, pictures and the hard drive stay close to the content.
Mac compatible
Keep enjoying the full performance of your hardware with Xispa OS. Be the owner of your machine.
Compatibility varies by model.
Xispa OS is a Brazilian Linux distribution, created by designer and developer Filipi Hadji, also the creator of the projects meuLinux, Moscatee and Quiabbo.
It grew out of helping people choose and try distributions on meuLinux, and out of care for design and product. With the idea of bringing the best together in a single system: Debian stability, compatibility, our own applications and a polished interface.
Browser simulator screenshots. The final appearance will be validated on Plasma running on Debian.
A clean desktop with widgets, icons and the taskbar.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dark mode, eye comfort, brightness and volume in a single panel. Control Quiabbo without opening its window and record the screen with one tap.
We are planning three profiles to choose from in the installer. All based on Debian, with the Xispa OS identity and interfaces and apps suited to each use.
A simpler LXQt desktop focused on using fewer resources. Colors, icons and details are intended to stay consistent with Xispa OS Standard, within what LXQt supports.
The KDE Plasma profile we are designing in the simulator. The visual reference for the distribution, with apps for browsing, working and managing your files.
The same interface as Standard, with the Xispa OS Games selection: Steam, Lutris, Heroic and tools to monitor and tune gaming performance.
Profiles are in planning. The ISO, installer selection and minimum requirements still need to be developed and tested. The simulator presents the proposed appearance of the Standard profile.

WeatherXispa OS Dev will be an optional selection of programming tools available through the Store. The same Debian base, with your choice of desktop environment.
Git and Debian build tools for working with your projects and dependencies.
Docker, PostgreSQL and SSH in the planned selection, with guidance on setting up and using each service.
A version manager for the languages each project needs. The choice of tool will be validated in the distribution.
Xispa OS Dev is in planning. Installation, permissions and Debian integration still need to be tested.
The Xispa OS proposal, from its system base to requirements. Details that depend on the first ISO will be confirmed after testing.
Xispa OS will be built on Debian stable, with customization and apps selected for each profile.
APT and dpkg for Debian packages, with Flatpak planned for apps. Store integration still needs validation.
KDE Plasma for Standard and Gamer; LXQt for Super Light. All three are proposed profiles for the distribution.
Designed for those getting started with Linux, with an interface and guidance in Portuguese. The installation experience still needs testing.
Still to be validated. Requirements for each profile will be published based on real use, keeping lightness goals separate from guaranteed minimums.
Super Light prioritizes lower resource use. Compatibility also depends on the processor, GPU and drivers, not just memory.
The plan follows Debian stable releases, with base fixes and security updates. The Xispa OS release and support policy is still to be defined.
systemd is the planned initialization and service management system, following the Debian default.
A Brazilian project by Filipi Hadji, with Brazilian Portuguese as the reference language for the system experience.
Not announced yet. Availability for x86_64 or ARM64 will depend on dedicated images and testing; Debian support does not automatically confirm Xispa OS support.
It will be published when an installation image is ready for testing. The simulator size does not represent the ISO size.
The ISO is not available yet and has no release date. Meanwhile, you can explore the proposal in the browser simulator.
