The Pirate King's Operating System

KhongOS was forged around two uncompromising ideals: the radical freedom and rolling power of Arch Linux, and the adventurous, unchained spirit of One Piece.

Modern operating systems have become bloated walled gardens full of surveillance, locked bootloaders, and sluggish interfaces. KhongOS hands you the helm. Fast boot times, keyboard-driven navigation, and instant access to a world-class cybersecurity toolkit the second you log in.

  • 100% Arch Linux compatibility with full pacman & AUR support
  • Lightweight ISO footprint (1.2GB) packed with essential tools
  • Zero telemetry, zero vendor lock-in, open source license
  • Custom Luffy Jolly Roger terminal branding and Rice

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about migrating to and running KhongOS.

Yes, 100%. KhongOS is directly built on top of the Arch Linux repository structure. You have unrestricted access to pacman, the Arch User Repository (AUR) via helpers like paru or yay, as well as the curated BlackArch security repository.
Our kernel incorporates the BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) CPU scheduler, low-latency 1000Hz tick frequency, pre-configured ZRAM memory compression with zstd, and audio latency patches. This eliminates desktop frame-drops while running heavy compilations or multitasking.
Absolutely. Steam, Proton GE, Lutris, and MangoHud run natively with Wayland support. Because Hyprland supports tearing protocols and GPU-direct rendering, input latency in competitive games is indistinguishable from bare-metal X11 or Windows.
All user configurations are stored cleanly in ~/.config/hypr/ and ~/.config/waybar/. We provide an interactive theme switcher (khong-theme) to swap between Luffy Pirate Red, Neon Cyberpunk, Tokyo Night, and Stealth Minimal themes with a single keypress.
Minimum: x86_64 CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo / AMD Athlon 64 or newer), 1 GB RAM, 15 GB disk space, OpenGL 2.1 capable GPU. Recommended: 4-core 64-bit CPU, 4 GB+ RAM, 30 GB NVMe SSD, Vulkan-capable Intel / AMD / NVIDIA GPU for optimal Hyprland Wayland acceleration.
