Free Kiro vs KiroTux
Kiro stays free. The Hyprland DMS desktop config (kiro-hyprland-dms) stays free as well, and any Kiro user can
install it with one package.
So what does your donation get you? The ready-made, tested ISO and the premium settings app.
Free Kiro + kiro-hyprland-dms |
KiroTux Hyprland DMS | |
|---|---|---|
| Hyprland + DankMaterialShell desktop | yes | yes |
| Live session in the Wayland desktop | no (X11 live session) | yes |
| Wayland installer | no (standard Kiro installer) | yes |
| Wayland-only system, set up from the first boot | no (X11 and Wayland side by side) | yes |
| KiroTux login screen | no | yes |
| Premium settings app | no | yes |
Can I just install kiro-hyprland-dms on Kiro instead?
Yes. You get the same desktop. You miss the Wayland live session, the Wayland installer and the premium settings app.
Why ask a donation for an ISO of free software?
The code is free software and stays that way. Your donation supports the work of putting it together, testing it, and the premium settings app, which is new code.
