Oreon is a Linux distribution designed for desktop use and built on the AlmaLinux enterprise Linux ecosystem.[1] Independent technology publications have described the project as an effort to adapt enterprise-focused Linux distributions for desktop users by emphasizing usability while retaining long-term support and stability.[2][3][4]

History

[edit]

Oreon was first released on January 1, 2024 with Oreon Lime (R1), introducing a desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on the RPM package ecosystem.[5]

The follow-up release, Oreon Lime (R2), code-named Limefalls, was released on February 18, 2024 and transitioned the project to an AlmaLinux 9 base while continuing to use the customized GNOME desktop environment.[6]

In December 2024, the project released Oreon 10, code-named Foxy, based on AlmaLinux 10.[7]

[edit]

Oreon publishes defined support timelines for its releases, consisting of a mainstream support period followed by extended security maintenance aligned with the lifecycle of the underlying AlmaLinux base.
