Apricity OS 09.2016 release. We’re very excited to announce the very first release of Apricity OS that includes a (development) 32-bit edition, labelled i686, in the downloads section of this site. We’re also trying out, in the 32-bit edition a switch to Firefox as the default browser, a very frequently requested change. This month the Calamares installer has been updated to version 2.4.1 (from 2.3), bringing many bug fixes, improved timezone and partition interfaces, and a couple EFI fixes. In other news, Apricity is just a few days away from crossing the 200,000 downloads threshold. As always, we hope you will find this release easy and enjoyable to use.
What is Apricity OS?
Break free with Apricity OS, the operating system with a customizable, clean, and easy setup. Apps like ICE, which creates site-specific browsers, and Syncthing, which makes remote file sharing easier than ever, enable a more productive lifestyle. Prebuilt packages from the AUR along with the Pamac updater and Wine, allow for the most up-to-date experience. Finally, the no-frills integration with the GNOME and Cinnamon environments keep your desktop looking beautiful, leaving you everything you want, and nothing you don’t.
Apricity OS is an open source, freely distributed, modern, and beautiful desktop-oriented operating system derived from the well-known Arch Linux distribution and built around the GNOME desktop environment, which has been stripped down to its basics in order to offer a low on resources system for all users.
The distro is available for download for free as a Live DVD ISO image that contains software packages optimized only for 64-bit (x86_64) instruction set architectures. You won’t be able to use this OS on 32-bit machines. More details about Apricity OS and the software collection included are available in our review.
