The operating system that respects your hardware and your privacy.
Engineered for responsiveness and developer autonomy. Powered by the CachyOS BORE kernel, KDE Plasma 6, ZRAM 2.5×, and an architecture ready for Penta-Init freedom.
Choose Your Architecture
Flagship and Core editions are verified Stable v1.0. Non-systemd modular inits are in active lab testing for Phase 2.
Complete KDE Plasma 6 environment, CachyOS BORE kernel, auto-tuning laptop suite, Btrfs snapshot restores, and out-of-the-box Vulkan gaming acceleration.
Ultra-lean headless base for homelabs and development servers. ~316 MiB cold idle RAM, Fish shell, native paru helper, and bundled AI/Cyber toolsets.
True non-systemd sovereign architecture. Ultra-clean lifecycle powered by native OpenRC, Artix shims, zero background jitter, and ~220 MiB idle RAM footprint.
Minimalist Unix-philosophy supervisor modeled on Void Linux. Rapid stage 1/2/3 boot cycle with ~70 MiB idle RAM footprint.
Modern fast C++ dependency graph service manager. Combines declarative dependency resolution with lean resource consumption.
Skarnet high-reliability supervision suite with execline scripting. Fault-tolerant architecture engineered for zero-downtime nodes.
Lycoris Browser
Built directly into HiganveinOS. The entire browser binary is compiled from C, C++, Rust, and Zig, without Python or web-tech wrapper overhead in the shell.
Built Different by Design
We reject telemetry, hidden analytics, and manufactured bloat. Every layer is inspectable and reproducible.
CachyOS BORE Scheduler
Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer kernel balances interactive task latency without starving compilation or background rendering threads.
Proactive Memory Defense
Automatic ZRAM swap (2.5× physical RAM via zstd) combined with tuned earlyoom kill policies. Eliminates hard UI freezes under heavy memory pressure.
Btrfs Instant Rollback
Standard subvolume topology (@, @home, @snapshots) integrated with Snapper GUI and GRUB snapshots for instant single-reboot disaster recovery.
Independent Attribution & Zero Telemetry Guarantee
HiganveinOS is engineered independently by D-P. We collect zero analytics, harvest zero telemetries, and place zero tracking cookies on your device. What runs on your machine stays entirely on your machine.
