What’s inside

Kubuntu 22.04 base with a custom “Neon Grid” theme (KDE Plasma, Aurorae, Kvantum)
Vibbey — a 3D assistant that auto-launches on first boot. Chat via Groq (fast, cloud) or local Ollama (private, offline)
Ollama preinstalled with gemma3:4b
Claude Code ready to install via vibe install claude
Zero telemetry, zero tracking, zero account required

How to boot it

Verify the download: sha256sum vibeos-0.4.0.iso — must match above
Flash to a USB stick (8 GB or larger): sudo dd if=vibeos-0.4.0.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress — replace sdX with your actual USB device
Or use balenaEtcher (cross-platform GUI)
Reboot, hit F12 / F2 / Esc / Del (depends on your BIOS) and pick the USB stick
Try it live first. When you’re happy, run the installer from the desktop

This is v0.4.0. It’s the first ISO release. Expect rough edges. Report anything weird at github.com/Matswm86/vibeos/issues.

Smart-mode options

Vibbey tries three backends in order: your own Groq key → a free 300-message bootstrap proxy → local Ollama. All three are optional — out of the box Vibbey falls straight to Ollama, which works fully offline.

To activate the free 300-message bootstrap tier (faster responses), run this once after boot:

curl -X POST https://groq.mwmai.no/bootstrap \
  | python3 -c 'import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["token"])' \
  > ~/.vibeos/groq.token
systemctl --user restart vibbey
