Every design decision in Abora prioritizes your productivity, privacy, and performance.
Lightning Fast Boot
Optimized for speed from the ground up. Abora boots in seconds and stays responsive throughout your entire session.
Atomic Upgrades & Rollback
Updates are atomic — either fully applied or fully reverted. Roll back to any previous system state instantly without fear.
Terminal Native
Built for keyboard-driven workflows. Powerful terminal integration with support for tiling window managers out of the box.
Zero Telemetry
Your system, your data. No tracking, no required accounts, no phoning home. Complete privacy by design.
Declarative Configuration
Define your entire system in Nix configuration files. Reproducible, version-controlled environments that work identically across machines.
Your Desktop, Your Rules
Choose between KDE Plasma for full customization, Hyprland for a tiling power-user setup, or GNOME for clean simplicity.
