Vostok Linux — Performance & Simplicity,Built on Void
Vostok is crafted on the rock-solid Void Linux base, optimized for raw performance with runit's lightning-fast init, XBPS efficiency, and a meticulously minimal core. Everything works flawlessly out of the box — no tweaking, no bloat. It's free, transparent, and independently maintained by one developer for the entire world, combining Void's rolling-release stability with a seamless, secure, and truly personal experience. Your system, your rules — just faster.
Why Vostok Is Different
Most Linux distributions compromise speed with bloat. Vostok starts from Void's lean foundation — runit's instant init, XBPS efficiency, and a hand-tuned kernel — delivering raw performance where it matters, with everything configured and ready to run out of the box.
Two Editions for Every Workflow
Vostok Linux currently offers two editions. Vostok Workstation includes the KDE Plasma desktop for a familiar and flexible experience. Vostok Workstation NVIDIA provides the same environment with NVIDIA drivers preinstalled.
Expanded Repository — More Software, Same Simplicity
Void's official repositories are lean by design. Vostok provides its own curated repository, which is actively being developed and gradually populated with additional packages — development tools, multimedia apps, and other useful software.
One Developer, One Vision — Truly Independent
Vostok is built by one person, for everyone. No corporate sponsors, no tracking, no hidden agendas. Just transparent, free, and secure Linux that respects your freedom — with every ISO signed and verifiable.
Your System, Forever Yours — 100% Free
From the polished KDE edition to our upcoming experimental editions, every Vostok flavor is completely free — no subscriptions, no hidden costs, no corporate strings attached. Install once, stay free forever.
Wiki That Actually Helps
Our wiki is a work in progress. We improve it every day and continue adding new guides and information to support the Vostok Linux community.
One Community, No Boundaries
It doesn't matter where you're from, what you believe, or who you are. Vostok is for everyone — united by curiosity, not borders. A satellite drifting through the universe of code and possibility.
Built for Developers — From DevOps to Frontend
Whether you're spinning up containers, managing infrastructure, hacking on React, or diving into embedded systems, Vostok adapts to your workflow. Rolling-release keeps your toolchain fresh without sacrificing stability.
Minimal Core, Infinite Possibilities
Vostok starts minimal — but never empty. Out of the box: a clean base, working drivers, codecs, and a browser. Beyond that? Your system, your rules. Thousands of packages available for work, gaming, or curiosity itself.
