Ubuntu-based console-style gaming OS for NVIDIA RTX 30xx systems. Boot in 15 seconds. No bloat. No desktop. Just games.
FalconOS is an Ubuntu 24.04-based gaming operating system that boots directly into a console-style launcher — think PS5 meets Linux. No desktop to manage. No Windows bloat. Just your games, ready in 15 seconds.
Built specifically for gaming laptops and desktops with NVIDIA RTX 30xx GPUs, FalconOS auto-installs drivers, pre-configures Steam + Proton, and delivers a gaming experience that beats Windows on the same hardware.
Built in Pakistan. For Pakistani gamers. And everyone else.
