v0.1 · Codename Agni
COSMIC POWER · INDIAN SOUL
Debian-based Linux distribution. Beautiful desktop, powerful server, Windows app compatibility. 100% free, forever.
तकनीक को सरल बनाना चाहिए, जटिल नहीं।
800 million internet users. Zero Indian Linux worth using. Every existing option fails in some critical way.
Bloated, Snap forced down your throat, Canonical's commercial focus over community.
Pro version costs ₹3,500+. No server edition. No Indian language focus.
Government-made, ugly UI, completely outdated. Nobody actually uses it.
Bleeding edge breaks things. Enterprise focus. Not built for everyday users.
Good but stale design. No server edition. No Indian language priority.
Too complex for normal users. Terminal-heavy. Not for schools or offices.
Brahmāstra OS fills the gap. Modern + Beautiful + Free + Indian-First + Server GUI
From daily desktop use to production servers. Brahmāstra OS covers every need.
Daily driver for everyone
Hardened. Minimal. Production-ready.

brahma Command · Your Server Swiss KnifeRun Windows apps natively on Linux. No emulation. No VM. No compromise.
The biggest barrier to Linux adoption is that Windows apps don't run. AppBridge is a kernel-level Windows binary compatibility layer that translates NT system calls to Linux at near-native speed.
Detects and loads Windows PE binaries directly
Intercepts NT syscalls at hardware level (Linux 5.11+)
Windows sync primitives in kernel, 50 to 678% perf gain
kernel32, user32, gdi32. 30 years of battle-tested code
DirectX → Vulkan translation for graphics
The apps that keep India locked into Windows. AppBridge will set them free.
Not an afterthought. India is the foundation. Every feature designed for Indian users first.
Hindi is first-class with 100% translated UI. Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia with fonts + keyboard layouts. Community translations via Weblate.
Hindi phonetic keyboard, type "namaste" → "नमस्ते". Inscript layout. IBus + m17n engine. Easy switch with Super+Space. ₹ symbol always accessible.
Students escaping Windows piracy. Small businesses running their own servers. Government offices replacing proprietary software. Developers wanting an Indian-optimized OS.
Indian timezone auto-detect. GST invoice templates in LibreOffice. Government fonts for official documents. Indian apps section in Brahmāstra Store.
Future Brahmāstra Lite edition. XFCE-based, runs on 2GB RAM, single-core CPU. For the crores of old PCs in schools, government offices, and rural areas across India.
No paid Pro version. No bait-and-switch. No corporate agenda. 100% free, community-driven, donate model only. Technology is a right, not a privilege.
The feature nobody does properly. Full server management from your browser, even from your phone.
Runs on 512MB RAM servers. Go backend, single binary, zero bloat.
TOTP authentication. IP whitelist. Every action logged. Enterprise security.
Everything the GUI does, the API can do. Automate with scripts or the brahma CLI.
xterm.js embedded terminal. When the GUI isn't enough, the command line is one click away.
Battle-tested foundations. No experiments in production. Every choice deliberate.
