The Privacy-Focused Operating System

Your data belongs to you. AcreetionOS is designed with privacy as a core principle — zero telemetry, no data collection, no tracking, no corporate surveillance. An independent Linux distribution that respects your digital sovereignty.

Zero Telemetry

AcreetionOS collects nothing. No hardware IDs, no usage statistics, no crash reports, no browsing data. Unlike Windows, macOS, and many Linux distributions, we believe your computer usage is none of our business. What you do on your machine stays on your machine.

Repository Sovereignty

We maintain our own curated repositories. Every package is tested and verified before reaching users. No blind bundling, no untrusted sources, no corporate-controlled package repositories pushing unwanted software.

Independent & Community-Owned

AcreetionOS is a volunteer-run project funded out of our own pockets. No VC money, no shareholders, no board. We answer to our users, not to investors. This financial independence guarantees that no outside entity can exert influence over the project's direction.

No Accounts Required

Windows requires a Microsoft account. macOS ties you to an Apple ID. AcreetionOS requires nothing. Download, install, and use without ever creating an account or providing personal information. Your system is yours alone.

No Snap, No Flatpak Push

Unlike Ubuntu and Fedora, we don't force Snap or Flatpak on you. Use native Arch packages and the AUR. Package formats are your choice, not our mandate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AcreetionOS collect telemetry?

No. AcreetionOS has absolutely zero telemetry. No data collection, no usage statistics, no crash reporting, no tracking. We don't want your data.

Is AcreetionOS really free?

Completely free and open source under the GPL v3 license. No paid tiers, no enterprise editions, no ads. Just free software that respects your freedom.

How is this different from Windows or macOS?

Windows 11 collects extensive telemetry, requires a Microsoft account, and serves ads in the OS. macOS ties you to the Apple ecosystem. AcreetionOS has no telemetry, no accounts, no ads, and no ecosystem lock-in. See our comparison page for details.

What about Ubuntu or Linux Mint?

Ubuntu includes telemetry and pushes Snap packages aggressively. Linux Mint avoids this but uses Ubuntu's point-release model. AcreetionOS uses Arch Linux's rolling release with zero telemetry and no forced package formats.
