Find the device with diskutil list, unmount it, then write to the raw device — it is much faster.
diskutil list
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
sudo dd if=takhios-community-desktop.uil.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=4M status=progressWindows
Rufus (choose DD mode) or balenaEtcher — third-party tools.
የውስጥ ዲስክ
Same as the USB command, pointing at the internal disk (for example /dev/nvme0n1). Warning: this erases that disk.
VPS
Use the የኔትወርክ መጫኛ (ISO) disc on the download page — there is no separate VPS download.

- ✓GNOME desktop
- ✓Installer and Manager included
- ✓Encrypted root, key stored on the ESP
- ✓Backup and Locker tools available
- ✓Boots from USB or an internal disk
When to use
- •the everyday computer — browsing, documents, media, and the takhiOS tools (Installer, VM Manager, Backuper) out of the box.
- •you want the desktop to work without configuring it, and a machine that can also boot and clone itself.
When not to use
- •old or low-memory hardware — take Xfce instead.
- •you want to tune every detail of the shell — KDE is a better fit.
First run
- •the Installer, VM Manager and Backuper are in the app grid (Super).
- •your disk is encrypted with a key stored on the boot partition, so it powers on unattended; use the boot menu's Set/Change encryption password entry if you want a passphrase.
- •if you installed onto part of the disk, use the Resize storage boot entry to grow the root filesystem.
About this desktop: GNOME
Desktop descriptions are currently in English.
- What it is:
- the modern, touch-friendly desktop. Minimal by default: a top bar, a full-screen app grid, and gestures. Fewer knobs than KDE, more polish out of the box.
- Who it suits:
- people who want the desktop out of the way and the machine to feel finished without configuring anything. The daily driver.
- First minutes:
- press Super to see the app grid; the Installer, VM Manager and Backuper are in the menu. GNOME hides most options behind Extensions and Tweaks — that is intentional.
- Expect:
- the heaviest of our three desktops in memory. Give it ~4 GiB to be comfortable (guidance, not a benchmark).
