Nexus-CORE Preview 3 (KDE Plasma)

operating-system · Linux · DAVIDOSDAS

Nexus-CORE is a Linux desktop that explains itself and asks before it changes anything. Built on Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma. Free and open source (GPL-3.0). Preview 3, nexus 0.1.50, released 18 October 2026. New in Preview 3: - Install next to your Linux: the installer finds the other system, takes only the free space (30 GB or more in one piece), and leaves the other system untouched. Nexus starts first afterwards. Tested next to Linux Mint on a real laptop. - "sudo nexus dualboot 1 --apply" restarts straight into the other system, once. The next restart is Nexus again. Secure Boot stays on. - Nexus Shop: apps from Flathub, Fedora and RPM Fusion side by side, with what Nexus suggests and why. - Updates show their progress; the history marks an update "applied" after the restart. Before you install: - An EMPTY disk is used whole. Next to another Linux (UEFI, GPT disk, 30 GB free in one piece), Nexus uses only the free space. If anything else is on the disk, Windows included, the installer asks before touching anything. Dual boot with Windows is not supported. - When installing next to another Linux, do NOT open "Installation Destination": go straight to "Begin Installation". - This is a preview made by one person and tested on a few laptops and virtual machines. Back up anything that matters. Needs: 64-bit PC, UEFI, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB disk.
