Demirarch is a dual-platform operating system project consisting of two distinct editions:
a custom Linux-based distribution and a modded Windows edition.
Both editions share the same core philosophy, while being built for different needs and environments.
At its core, Demirarch exists to remove unnecessary complexity, forced behavior, and wasted resources. It prioritizes user control, performance, and intentional design over convenience-driven defaults.
The Demirarch Linux edition is built on a minimal, Arch-inspired and Debian foundation.
It focuses on simplicity, transparency, and full user authority over the system.
This edition avoids unnecessary abstractions and background services. The system starts lightweight and remains lightweight. Every installed component is chosen deliberately, not inherited blindly from upstream defaults.
Demirarch Linux is designed for users who want to understand and shape their system. Package selection, system behavior, desktop environment, and appearance are all customizable without fighting against the operating system itself.
It favors:
Minimal base installation
Clean system structure
Predictable performance
Custom branding and identity
No forced services or telemetry
Demirarch Linux is not meant to hide complexity.
It is meant to put complexity under the user’s control.
The Demirarch Windows edition is a custom-modified version of official Microsoft Windows.
It is not a replacement for Windows, but a refined and stripped-down reinterpretation of it.
This edition is created by removing or disabling unnecessary components such as background bloat, intrusive telemetry, forced applications, and resource-heavy services. The goal is to keep Windows familiar, but significantly cleaner, faster, and more respectful of system resources.
The Windows edition focuses on:
Reduced background activity
Improved performance on low and mid-range hardware
Minimal preinstalled applications
Cleaner system behavior
Custom visual identity aligned with Demirarch
No core Windows functionality is removed irresponsibly. Stability and usability remain a priority, while excess is intentionally cut away.
Demirarch Windows exists for users who need Windows compatibility, but refuse to accept its default behavior.
Both Demirarch editions are built around the same mindset:
The system should serve the user.
Defaults should never override intent.
Performance should not be sacrificed for convenience or tracking.
Demirarch is not designed for everyone.
It is designed for users who want ownership over their environment, whether they choose Linux or Windows.
This is not just an operating system project.
It is a statement against unnecessary complexity, forced decisions, and bloated design.
