For the Premium creative AI apps (Music Studio, PersonaStudio, Performer Studio), we recommend a 6+ core CPU, 32 GB RAM, a 250 GB SSD or larger, and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB or better for GPU-intensive generation. These advanced specifications are not required simply to install and use the base Linux-AI desktop.
Development updates, releases, and project announcements.
One free download for everyone. Linux-AI Premium now turns on with a key inside the system you already have, and new features and fixes arrive through the new Linux-AI Updates. Premium now includes 10 apps, with the new Performer Studio and ID Maker. Read the release notes →
The AI models are no longer packed into the ISO. They download the first time you use them, which makes the Linux-AI download less than half its former size.
The first public Linux-AI release (July 14, 2026) introduced the Cinnamon AI Edition desktop, the Linux-AI Assistant, Welcome Wizard and Control Center.
Linux-AI OS is more than a distribution. It is a vision for a smarter, easier, privacy-respecting Linux desktop.
