Revolution OS is an open source, lightweight, complete, fast and free computer operating system, a distribution of Linux based on the Linux kernel and derived from the Manjaro Linux OS, which in turn is based on the highly acclaimed Arch Linux distro. It is built around the traditional MATE desktop environment.

The Revolution OS distro is available for download as a Live DVD ISO image of approximately 2 GB in size, containing software packages optimized only for computers supporting the 32-bit (i386/x86) hardware architectures. Despite the fact that the 32-bit Live DVD can also be used on modern 64-bit machines, a dedicated 64-bit ISO image is yet to be released.
