We are a friendly community!

We don't want to be a one-person distro. Do you want to collaborate? Welcome! It doesn't matter your level or if you are a programmer or not. What's more, it's even good for us to have professional people and beginners because that way we can have both ways of seeing things.

TubeOS

A distro focused on TV and NAS. Save your videos or movies and enjoy them on your television, everything that Android TV or Apple doesn’t do.

It would include CasaOS and PLasma Bigscreen

Wintux — Windows-inspired edition

A Windows-inspired edition of Pulsar OS for people coming from Windows.

What we are thinking about:

  • Centered taskbar, start menu and snap layouts.

Open decision — we need your input: should Wintux be built on KDE Plasma or GNOME? We are leaning towards KDE Plasma for a closer Windows feel, but we want the community to weigh in on Discord and Matrix.

Help wanted

You can help with any error or proposal, but here we list what matters most to us.

If there is nothing here, it may be a good sign or that the page is crashing (most likely).

Get your name on the wall

Pulsar OS grows because people recommend it and help it. We want to thank the people who make that happen — publicly.

01

Recommend Pulsar OS

Recommend Pulsar OS and bring people into Discord or Matrix. When new members arrive, tell us who invited them — or write your name in the hall-of-fame file of the repo.

Your name gets etched into theHall of Fame, on a dedicated page that stays forever.
02

Publicize or collaborate

Write about Pulsar OS, run an audit, review code, translate, design, test on real hardware, document, or collaborate on anything.

Your name joins theCollaborators list, with a note describing what you did.

How contributing works

Pulsar OS is open source, built by and for the community. Whether you're a developer, designer, translator, documentation writer or simply want to help out, there is a place for you.

GitHub Organization

All of Pulsar OS source code is available on GitHub. Explore the repositories, open issues, send pull requests and follow development in real time. The project board shows which tasks are pending, in progress or completed.

AI-assisted development policy

We welcome pull requests developed with the help of AI assistants, as long as they meet the following requirements:

  1. Testing: Every AI-generated PR must pass the appropriate testing before being submitted. We don't accept untested code.
  2. Bilingual comments: All comments in the code must be written in both English and Spanish so the codebase remains accessible to our community. AI tools handle this effortlessly.

AI is a powerful productivity tool, not a replacement for responsibility. If your PR is well tested and properly documented, it will be reviewed like any other.

Other ways to contribute

You don't need to be a programmer to help. You can contribute with documentation, translations, graphic design, bug reports, or simply by sharing Pulsar OS with others. Every bit helps.

Geeks, but respectful ones

No Linux elitism and zero gatekeeping — we have no time for loonixtards. We are a friendly bunch of geeks who love talking about Pulsar OS, and several of us are around the chats every day, so there is always someone to answer your questions.

Beginners are more than welcome: every bit of help counts, no matter how small. Ask without fear — the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Whether you audit, test, translate, code or simply spread the word — your name belongs on the wall.
