Unchained
A gaming-focused Linux distribution built on OpenRC and elogind. The performance of CachyOS kernels. The freedom of a systemd-free init. Built for gamers who refuse to be chained.

Fast, lightweight, and transparent. OpenRC boots your system without the complexity of systemd — and we've made it approachable for everyday gamers.

plug & playBuilt on the linux-cachyos kernel with BORE and LAVD schedulers for lowest input latency and best frame timing on Linux.
performanceFull desktop session management without systemd-logind. elogind gives DEs, Wayland compositors, and Steam everything they need.

rolling release// Tech Stack
In Norse myth, Fenrir was bound by chains the gods feared to break. We broke ours.
FenrirOS exists because gaming Linux shouldn't require systemd. OpenRC is fast, transparent, and powerful — it just needed someone to make it accessible.
// Roadmap
FenrirOS is in early development. Watch the repo, contribute, or just follow along as we build something new.
