Bluestar Linux

Bluestar Linux is an Arch Linux-based distribution built to understand that people want and need a solid Operating System that provides a breadth of functionality and ease of use without sacrificing aesthetics.

Bluestar is offered in three editions - Desktop, Deskpro, and Developer - tailored to various Linux users' needs.

Bluestar can be installed permanently as a robust and fully configurable operating system on laptops or desktops. It can be run effectively as a live installer and supports persistent storage for those who choose not to perform a permanent installation.

A Bluestar Linux software repository is also maintained to provide additional tools and applications when needed or requested.

We take security seriously

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating the image’s checksum on your own computer and comparing it to the original checksum, you can verify the image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also gpg signed with Fedora keys to demonstrate their integrity.

  • Click the verify button to download the checksum file for your downloaded image.

  • Import Linuxrpms's GPG key(s)

                    curl -O https://linuxrpms.com/linuxrpms-gpg.pub
                  

    You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here.

  • Verify the checksum file is valid

                    gpgv --keyring ./linuxrpms-gpg.pub bluestar-6.18.5-*-CHECKSUM
                  
  • Verify the checksum matches

                    sha256sum -c bluestar-6.18.5-*-CHECKSUM
                  

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!
