Endless OS is a Debian based Linux derivate. It is built on top of the Linux kernel and other open source technologies (Chromium, GNOME, GRUB, GTK, PulseAudio, Rufus, Systemd, XOrg, Yelp, and many more). Unlike most Linux distributions, it uses a read-only root filesystem managed by OSTree and Flatpak for application delivery and update. The user interface is based on a highly modified GNOME desktop environment. Endless Computers publish their FOSS components and forks on GitHub. They claim that they submit all their patches upstream.
