An Android-based open source OS that incorporates many optimizations, features, and that supports many more devices. What's more? It's available for just about any Chromebook, PC or tablet released in the last 10 years.
We have a minimal theme design, without any bloatware or unwanted adware apps
We offer many customizable options for screens, big and small, that allow you to setup your device for whatever task is at hand
We built the OS with a focus on speed and stability with tweaks to assist in the most demanding use cases
We bring Bliss to every device we can, and our PC builds even include extra ARM/ARM64 compatibility so you can use your favorite apps
Bliss OS lets the user choose between Desktop or Tablet UI, based on the launcher being used. You can even mix the two to truly make your system your own
An Open Source Desktop launcher that allows the use of a bottom taskbar, with Bliss button (start menu)
A user-friendly desktop mode launcher that offers a modern and customizable user interface
An integrated desktop launcher with tasks, built into the navigation bar (Experimental, only on 14.10)
The classic Launcher3 from AOSP with some minor tweaks for desktop mode and navigation
Bliss OS comes with a variety of added features for compatibility, be it ARM/ARM64 app support on your PC, letting you use the games & apps you know and love or VA-API hardware accelerated video decoding to watch your favorite streaming platform. Also, with the latest XtMapper keymapper, you will be able to control your apps using a keyboard & mouse with ease.
(More app support will be added soon, also Xtmapper is still in early development phase.)
This ensures the operating system's core remains unchanged. The root file system for the immutable system remains read-only, also allowing for a secure way to update and maintain critical system structure.
Bliss OS is the first Android-x86 derivative that includes weishu's KernelSU that works with the systems immutability. With it, you can easily grant root permission for apps and even install Magisk modules without having to install Magisk or write to the system partition.
(KernelSU is still in the beta stage, and modules support is still experimental)
Many of our competitors offer their OS as a free download, but with no source-code available, that typically leaves you as the product, with no way of knowing what data they are collecting or if they are selling your data as a way to make profits.
By making Bliss OS open source and being part of a non-profit org, it can be ensured that nothing is being sold and no malicious code is included.
Not only do we respect your privacy, but we vow to never include anything to put your data in jeopardy. We are also constantly updating things with the latest security updates from Google for the currently active and maintained versions of Bliss OS. And as an open source project, all our source code is also available, so you and others can ensure your data and safety are at the top of our concerns. For users that have an even greater concern about their user data, we also offer Bliss OS builds that are Google Services free, and come with F-Droid, Aurora & microG for a truly secure user experience.
We are just one of many other projects under BlissLabs, a 501(c3) nonprofit, run by people that donate their free time towards the project. We do our best to bring a quality OS to your device, while working a real job on the side in most cases. Please consider showing us we're on the right track by donating using the button below.
