🧪 Looking for most advanced technologies ? 🧪
There are two branches of GLF OS to meet your needs and preferences :
GLF OS : Stability and safety. The most mature, stabilised version, tested and recommended by the team.
It offers a perfect compromise between the freshness of gaming packages and overall system stability.
GLF OS Rolling : Fresh and innovative. An experience for the latest technology lovers, with the most advanced performance and compatibility. Take advantage of the very latest Nvidia drivers, and also the latest advances on GNOME, KDE, pipewire, Wayland...
However, this also means that you will have to compile certain packages on your system, which can lead to lengthy updates and a heavy load on the system, especially if you have a low-performance CPU. You should also be aware of the risk of bugs not yet fixed by the team.
