A Debian-based KDE Plasma 6 Linux distribution offering a downloadable, verifiable ISO with optional local AI and built-in performance, update, and recovery tools.

Why it surfaced

Shadowfetch treats its desktop as the product: Ember provides a temporary performance mode, Phoenix creates restore points around updates, and Fireproof lets users review upgrades before installation. The site also supplies checksums, install documentation, screenshots, a torrent fallback, and a clear boundary between the distro and its neighboring AI projects.
