UrsaOS keeps Arch's rolling package base and familiar tooling while providing a complete, preconfigured desktop:

- Plasma as the permanent Wayland desktop (Beta 3+), with one fixed look (UrsaOS Aurora)
- graphical Try & Install ISO with German and English live sessions
- Calamares live-copy installation that does not require a network connection
- Btrfs with an optimized subvolume layout and optional snapshots
- BearHub and BearWave as source-built UrsaOS packages
- signed UrsaOS package updates through repo.ursaos.dev
- carefully selected defaults without hiding the underlying Arch system

UrsaOS is not a fork of the Arch package tree and does not carry a complete offline Arch mirror. The tested live filesystem itself is the installation payload.

A low-code dashboard makes monitoring intuitive for any admin, while scripting and custom sensors give experts full control.

You shouldn't have to choose between a monitoring tool that's easy to use and one that's powerful enough for a complex environment. PRTG's low-code interface lets any admin build dashboards, set alerts and monitor devices without scripting, while custom sensors and full API access are there when your team needs deeper control. One platform, no compromise. Download a free 30-day trial now.
