An operating system that finally listens.

Built on a kernel written from scratch for modern hardware, fluent in every Unix and Linux command you already know, and shipped with a full local AI stack — no cloud, no latency, no typing marathons.

01 — the core

Four ideas, one operating system

Everything below ships in the same install — no plugins to hunt down, no extra repos to trust.

AI Center

Ask it anything. It doesn't need the internet to answer.

WiamOX AI Center runs fully offline — models, backend, and interface all live on your hardware, so you can ask it things with no connection at all. It writes and runs code, and you can spawn as many agents as your machine can carry. Agents can still go out and search the internet when you ask them to and report back, but every request and every log stays on your system.

$ wiam-ai status
● mode: fully offline — no internet required
● agents running: 3, all local
● agent-2: searched the web, logged locally
Kernel

No legacy to carry, so it moves at light speed.

Every legacy hardware path was left out on purpose — there's nothing old for the kernel to drag along. Combined with a scheduler rebuilt from the ground up, performance is unmatched: every cycle goes straight to your workload, not its history.

zero legacy drivers rebuilt scheduler
Compatibility

Every command you already know.

Full Unix and Linux compatibility, with native package management through pacman.

pacman -Syu
Control

Three words instead of thirty keys.

Multi-step system tasks collapse into short, plain instructions. WiamOX interprets intent, not just syntax — and it's the only OS shipped with no documentation. If you're lost, you just ask the AI Center, and it tells you what to do.

background process spawns while idle

Audio, network, battery, media, notifications and niri all talk to the shell through native, event-driven services. Nothing is polled, and no helper processes sit in the background. (Measured over 60 s, down from ~150 per minute.)

04 — the installer

Install everything. No internet required.

The WiamOX installer carries its own package repository on the ISO. Tick the bundles you want and they install straight from the USB stick — on a plane, in a basement, anywhere.

01

Boot the live ISO

The wiamox-intro animation plays, then a live desktop with the installer is ready to go.

02

Pick your disk layout

Btrfs with snapshots, or classic ext4. Existing systems are detected for dual-boot.

03

Choose your app bundles

Nothing is pre-selected. Every bundle has parts you can untick.

04

Done — clean and updatable

The offline repo removes itself after install, so updates come straight from pacman like any normal system.

44

Gaming

Launchers and tools for playing on Linux, including Heroic, Bottles, ProtonUp-Qt and Moonlight.

54

Developer

Language toolchains, editors and the tools you reach for every day.

19

05 — the details

Small things, done obsessively

The parts you notice on day one and keep noticing on day one hundred.

Boot

A boot that feels like a launch

wiamox-intro is a 166-frame boot animation: drifting particles, shards in brand colors spiral inward, a charge, an explosion with shockwaves and sparks, and the WiamOX logo rising out of the smoke.

WoxEd

One editor. Every language. Zero limits.

The WiamOX editor: fuzzy finder, file tree, syntax highlighting, autocomplete and Vim motions.

Terminal

A cursor with a comet tail

Ghostty ships with 13 GPU cursor effects — comet trail, warp, sweep, smear, blaze, sonic boom, ripple. Switch with wiamox-cursor set warp.

wox why

Ask your terminal what just went wrong

Every terminal remembers its last failed command. Type wox why and the local AI explains the error and suggests the fix.

$ pacman -S firefx
error: target not found: firefx
$ wox why
→ typo in the package name. try: sudo pacman -S firefox
aurora
lattice
flow
constellation
monolith
06 — try it

Try it without installing anything

These are the same commands WiamOX understands on real hardware. Pick one, or type your own.

Keep WiamOX going

WiamOX has no ad revenue and no enterprise tier funding it. Donations go straight toward build servers, mirror hosting, and the time spent maintaining the kernel patches and AI stack.

07 — the team

About

A one-person team, doing the work of several.

WK

hover it

Wiam — the whole orchestrator.

WiamOX has exactly one team member. Wiam designs the kernel, rebuilds the scheduler, writes the AI stack, and ships the installer — every layer, by the same one pair of hands. It shows in the code: the kind of obsessive, detail-level programming that usually takes a whole team, done by someone who simply didn't stop.

The project started as a solo experiment at age 12, and it's been rewritten, rebuilt, and pushed further every year since — still solo, still going.
