Everything you need.
Already there.
RuscaLinux ships 2 727 carefully selected packages on a single hybrid ISO. No app store hunt, no codec chase, no missing language pack — just a desktop that's complete the moment it boots.
Six ideas, one system.
Complete out of the box
Office suite, multimedia editors, a browser, an email client, image and audio tools — all installed and configured before you ever touch a terminal. The first boot is the finished product, not a starting point.
Multilingual
40+ languages bundled in the base image, from the boot menu to LibreOffice and Firefox.
Debian-based
Built on the rock-solid Debian 13 foundation, with Linux 6.12 and decades of packaging discipline underneath.
Independent from the update treadmill
RuscaLinux ships with no active repositories. Your system stays exactly as you installed and tested it — no surprise breakages, no nightly churn. When a new version is ready, you move forward with a clean install. Stability is a feature, not an accident.
Modern GNOME 48 desktop
A Wayland session running Mutter, dressed in the custom Adwaita-Prugna icon set, a bespoke Plymouth boot splash, and the Syne wordmark throughout. The whole experience is in one consistent hand.
Live & installable
The hybrid ISO runs as a full live system and carries its own installer — including a speech-synthesis option for accessibility. Try it from a USB stick, then install it when you're ready.
A curated software set.
