Before you install
Read the release notes and installation guide before downloading. Select an image that matches the processor architecture and intended use: desktop, server, live media, virtual machine or another published edition. Test Wi-Fi, graphics, audio, storage and suspend from live media when that option is available. Back up important files before repartitioning, encryption changes or dual-boot installation. Download from an official project page or mirror, compare the published SHA-256 checksum, and verify a signed checksum when the project provides one. After installation, apply updates before adding third-party repositories or drivers.
- 1Check the SHA-256
Compare the file with the checksum published by Endless OS. If it does not match, download it again.
- 2Write it to a USB drive
Use Ventoy, balenaEtcher, Fedora Media Writer or Rufus. Copying the ISO as a normal file does not work.
- 3Boot from the USB
Open the boot menu (often F12, F10 or Esc) and choose the USB drive in UEFI mode. Back up your data first.
About Endless OS
Endless OS is a Debian-derived, image-based desktop designed for education and environments with limited connectivity. It separates its read-only system from user applications and distributes language-specific images with different content bundles. The official release index identifies 6.0.11 as the newest published stable amd64 image at review. This download is the Basic ISO; Full language bundles and compressed disk images are distinct downloads.
Who is it for?
Endless OS is primarily suited to daily desktop use, study, web browsing and productivity. Before choosing it, compare the current release lifecycle with the length of support required for the machine. This distribution is based on debian, which influences package formats, repositories and much of the available documentation. The listed desktop environment is GNOME; confirm its memory, graphics and accessibility requirements on the official project site. The best choice depends on hardware support, preferred software, update policy and the amount of system administration the user wants to perform.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages

Endless OS download questions
Which Endless OS ISO should I download?
IsosLinux lists the desktop ISO for laptops and PCs, with a live session and graphical installer. Most people installing on a computer want the desktop ISO. Other editions and architectures are listed under All images.
Is the Endless OS download official?
Yes. The download buttons open files on images-dl.endlessm.com, the project's own server or official mirror. IsosLinux only lists the link and counts the click; it does not host or modify the image.
How do I check that the Endless OS ISO is not corrupted?
Compare the SHA-256 checksum of your file with the one published by Endless OS. On Linux run sha256sum on the file, or use the IsosLinux ISO checksum verifier, which works locally in your browser.
What is Endless OS based on?
Endless OS is based on debian, so most software and guides for debian also apply.
Which desktop does Endless OS use?
The default desktop listed for Endless OS is GNOME.
