LinuxToys

May 8, 2026 · View on GitHub

LinuxToys is a collection of user-friendly tools designed for Linux systems. It aims to make powerful Linux functionality accessible to all users through an intuitive interface. For a complete feature list and detailed documentation, please visit our Wiki.

Compatibility

LinuxToys is compatible with the following Linux distributions, provided they are running their latest stable versions, and use systemd as their init system:

Debian and derivatives (PikaOS, LMDE, etc.)
Ubuntu and derivatives (Ubuntu flavours, Mint, Zorin, Tuxedo, etc.)
Fedora and derivatives (Nobara, RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, etc.)
Arch Linux and derivatives (EndeavourOS, CachyOS, etc.)
Manjaro and Big Linux
OpenSUSE (Leap, Slowroll and Tumbleweed)
Fedora-based Atomic Distributions (Atomic Fedora, Universal Blue images like Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora)
Solus

Only x86 computers are supported, as other architectures lack support from most packages that are components of LinuxToys, even though the app itself may run on ARM devices.

Usage without installation for stable versions

You can use LinuxToys without installing it by downloading the new AppImage made by our friends at pkgforge-dev from their releases page. Just download the latest release, make it executable, and run it. Issues with the AppImage can be reported at the AppImage repository, and both of us will be working together to make it the best experience possible.
