Frequently asked.
Is NoovexOS really free?+
Yes — every edition for individuals, schools and indie developers is free. Businesses pay only for support and fleet management.
Can I dual-boot with Windows or macOS?+
Yes. The installer detects existing systems and sets up GRUB automatically.
Will my printer / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth work?+
If it has Linux drivers, yes. The compatibility database on /hardware lists every tested device.
Does it run .exe or .app files?+
Most Windows games run via Proton. macOS apps don't run natively, but most have a NoovexOS-native equivalent.
How are updates delivered?+
Atomically. The new system is built alongside the running one; rebooting switches over. Rollback is one click.
What happens if an update breaks something?+
Pick the previous boot entry from the menu. Nothing is lost — your snapshots are kept for 30 days.
Is it really more secure than Windows?+
By default, yes. The system partition is read-only, every app is sandboxed, and there is no admin shell exposed to apps.
Who is behind NoovexOS?+
A non-profit foundation funded by donations, enterprise support contracts and a single hardware partner.
