Elive is a non-commercial, operating system made for the daily use; a much faster, friendlier, and feature-rich replacement of your high cost and ineffective default OS. Turn that up to 15-year-old equipment into a high-performance machine with a dazzling interface. Entirely customizable to meet your needs while remaining lightweight and beautiful.

Elive can be up and running in 2 minutes without the need to install it, choose the language and the desired options to get the maximum performance, or just let Elive auto-detect them for you. Because the user experience is our top priority, we provide a very intuitive experience which anybody can use, by keeping the interface simple and not over-saturated with options, while providing many automated tools.

Elive is based on Debian, so it inherits the stability and reliability that Debian is famous for. The customized Enlightenment desktop is ultra-fast and perfectly stable. You can count on Elive to work day after day without issues.
