CapivaraOS began as a Debian remix and was rebuilt on Fedora with KDE Plasma, using official Fedora Project tooling. The project then grew into a family of distributions, each tailored to a different desktop environment.
Each distribution name comes from the capybara's world — Marsh, Pup, Snout, Herd. The capybara was chosen for its character: calm and social, but always alert — it keeps watch for the whole group and moves fast when it has to. Green is the project's signature color.
Each distribution is built on the official base of the matching Fedora Live spin. Additional packages and a branding layer are added: wallpapers, icons, boot theme, and login screen. The project favors official Fedora repositories and free software across the family.
The operating system follows the licenses of its upstream projects (Fedora, KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and others). The visual identity — logo, names, and original wallpapers — belongs exclusively to the CapivaraOS Project.
The project is maintained by a small community and is in an active development stage. Contributions of any kind are welcome — translation, design, testing, or documentation.
