All three distros now in beta

A Linux distribution with Brazilian flair and capybara spirit

CapivaraOS is a family of Brazilian Linux distributions based on Fedora, with its own visual identity, Brazilian Portuguese ready out of the box, and the calm (and stubborn) personality of a capybara. Each distro in the family ships a different desktop environment, for different tastes and different machines.

Three distributions, one project: the same visual identity and the same care for Brazilian Portuguese, across different desktop environments.

CapivaraOS

Marsh

KDE Plasma · Fedora 44

The original distro of the family. Its own visual theme on top of KDE Plasma, with a global menu on top and a bottom dock, for those who want a complete, highly customizable desktop.

CapivaraOS

Pup

Xfce · Fedora 44

CapivaraOS

Snout

GNOME · Fedora 44

Beta available

What every capybara in the family has in common

Regardless of the desktop environment, all CapivaraOS distros share the same base and identity.

🟢

Fedora base

Built with the official Fedora tooling (kickstart, lorax and Anaconda), on top of a stable, well-maintained base.

🇧🇷

Brazilian Portuguese by default

Language, ABNT2 keyboard layout and localization packages already configured, no extra setup after install.

🎨

A visual identity of its own

Wallpapers, boot theme, login screen and the CapivaraOS logo, keeping the same look across any desktop environment you pick.

📦

Essential apps included

LibreOffice, Firefox and the main apps for each desktop environment come pre-installed, ready for everyday use.

💿

Anaconda installer

Guided installation using Anaconda, the same robust installer used by Fedora.

🔓

Free-software-first stance

We keep the official Fedora repositories as our base, without enabling non-free package sources by default.
