    What is OpenBosniana OS?
    OpenBosniana OS is an ambitious project aimed at creating a free, open-source operating system tailored to the Bosnian language. This initiative ensures that the digital landscape is accessible and user-friendly for Bosnian speakers.
    OpenBosniana OS: Freedom at its Core
    OpenBosniana OS embodies the spirit of free software. Built entirely from open-source components, this operating system will always be 100% free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. An operating system is a collection of essential programs and utilities that enable your computer to function. At its heart is the kernel—the most crucial program that manages the system's core operations and allows other software to run. OpenBosniana OS leverages the robust Linux kernel, renowned for its stability and security. The majority of the fundamental tools that enhance the operating system originate from the GNU project, leading to the familiar names GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. These tools, like the OS itself, are free. However, an operating system's true value lies in its application software—the programs that enable users to accomplish their tasks, whether it's editing documents, managing businesses, playing games, or developing more software. OpenBosniana OS benefits from the rich ecosystem of Debian, which includes over 59,000 packages. These precompiled software bundles are neatly packaged for easy installation via a powerful package manager (APT) and other utilities, making the management of thousands of packages across numerous computers as simple as installing a single application. OpenBosniana OS enhances this experience by providing forked Debian repositories, offering approximately 60,000 software packages. All of this is freely available, ensuring that users have access to a comprehensive suite of tools and applications without any cost.
    What hardware is supported?
    OpenBosniana OS will run on almost all personal computers, including most older models. Almost all common hardware is supported. There are a few companies that make support difficult by not releasing specifications for their hardware. This means you might not be able to use their hardware with GNU/Linux. Some companies provide non-free drivers, but that is a problem because the company could later go out of business or stop support for the hardware you have. We recommend that you only purchase hardware from manufacturers that provide free drivers for their products.
    Why Choose OpenBosniana OS?
    OpenBosniana OS is more than just an operating system; it's a commitment to digital freedom and inclusivity for the Bosnian-speaking community. By combining the strengths of the Linux kernel and the GNU project with the extensive software repositories of Debian, OpenBosniana OS offers a reliable, versatile, and user-friendly computing experience—all while being fully localized for Bosnian users. Join us in embracing a free and open digital future with OpenBosniana OS.
