MoOS
MoOSYour computer, your way — Arabic-native and intelligent from first boot.
MoOS is a new desktop operating system built on Fedora Atomic and KDE Plasma 6. It combines a native Arabic desktop, Linux apps, optional Android and Windows compatibility layers, Mo AI, and phone control in one rollback-ready experience.

The MoOS launcher in full Arabic — a live screenshot from the system
Arabic from the root
The first OS that feels written for Arabic — not translated into it
The launcher, search, app names, dates, weather, and the direction of the interface itself are natively Arabic inside the system — not a bolt-on translation layer. Prefer English or German? Switch in one click.
- A full RTL interface designed as RTL, not mirrored by accident
- Arabic dates, numerals and weather live on the desktop
- Instant Arabic search across apps, files and commands
- Crisp Arabic typography on 4K and HiDPI displays
Linux at the core. Android and Windows when you need them.
Compatibility layers stay optional so the base system remains lean. Enable only what you need and know the boundary: some apps and games can require extra setup or may not work.
Android apps
Waydroid runs Android in a container. The first setup downloads about 1GB, ships without Google Play by default, and places installed APKs in your launcher.
Windows apps
Bottles manages Wine for isolated EXE environments. Compatibility varies by program, so MoOS does not promise that every app will run.
After its layer is prepared, open an APK or EXE normally; MoOS routes it to the right flow and explains what is missing instead of failing silently.
Updates arrive as one image — with the previous deployment ready
Instead of replacing hundreds of packages inside a running system, updates arrive as a signed image and apply after reboot. Software can still fail; the difference is a clear verification and rollback path to the previous deployment.
Signed and verified
Every image is cosign-signed, and the installed system refuses any update that isn't signed with the MoOS key.
Instant rollback
The previous version stays on disk. One command — or one GRUB entry — and you're exactly where you were.
The Horizon glass shell
A live hub, a media island, and a glass dock — a modern desktop that still runs smoothly on modest hardware.
Optional layers
Android, Windows and gaming support are prepared on demand, so your machine carries only what you use.
12 real themes — light and dark, one visual language
A full theme family generated from one colour source: wallpaper, windows, icons, lock screen and even the boot splash change together in a single click. Pick what suits you — the system stays coherent.
MoOS apps
One control surface for the machine, apps and connection
Core MoOS apps share one visual language: Mo AI for assistance and allow-listed system actions, the MoOS store for installs, Mo PC Remote for phone control, plus recovery, updates and settings.
The same system in a light theme — equally clear by day
Ask the machine through Mo AI. Control it from your phone.
Optional
Mo AI — local-first assistance
One surface for machine status, app discovery and specific allow-listed system actions. The local brain is optional, downloads a model on first use, and depends on your hardware; you can also configure a cloud provider with your own key.
On your network
Mo PC Remote — screen, mouse and keyboard from your phone
Start the service when you need it, then open its connection address from a phone on your network. View the desktop, use touch input and type Arabic; the service is optional and its status is read from the machine.
MoOS is still a new, actively developed project. The capabilities shown here exist in the current image, but hardware and app compatibility still need testing on your machine.
Pick your edition and download the official installer
The installer is an official script that verifies the release signature before installing, and pins your current system so rollback always works. Or copy the one-line command if you prefer the terminal.

Every release is signed. You can confirm the image really came from MoOS before you install:
cosign verify --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moalfarras-sys/moos-image/main/cosign.pub ghcr.io/moalfarras-sys/moos:latest Step-by-step install
From ISO file to a MoOS desktop
Back up important files first. Installation changes disk partitions, so read the disk-selection screen carefully and do not test on your only machine without a backup.
- 01
Download and verify
Get the ISO from this site and compare its SHA-256 before writing the USB.
- 02
Write the USB
Use Fedora Media Writer or Rufus. Do not use Ventoy with this image.
- 03
Boot and test
Choose the USB in your boot menu and use the live session to check networking, sound and display.
- 04
Install and reboot
Open the MoOS installer, confirm disk and timezone, finish, then remove the USB on reboot.
The same system, on a server that never sleeps
Instead of leaving your machine on, take a cheap VPS and turn it into MoOS with one command. For development, for running Mo AI, for your own projects — same signed updates, reachable from anywhere.
