# Welcome To MassOS

Welcome to **MassOS**, a [free](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) GNU/Linux operating system for x86_64 devices, which aims to be minimal and lightweight, without compromising features. This edition uses the [GNOME](https://gnome.org) desktop environment.

Welcome to **MassOS**, a [free](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) GNU/Linux operating system for x86_64 devices, which aims to be minimal and lightweight, without compromising features. It uses the [Xfce](https://xfce.org) desktop environment.

The MassOS system itself is under 5 gigabytes. Quite impressive for a GNU/Linux distribution containing a full desktop environment and common programs, as well as development tools/headers. Some distributions are able to achieve minimalism by using smaller replacements for common GNU software, at the cost of some features. With MassOS, you get the minimal size, without compromising the advanced features exclusive to GNU software.

Release numbers follow the format **YYYY.MM**. For example: the August 2021 release was **2021.08**. On a working MassOS system, you can check the version by running `massos-release`. There is a new release of MassOS roughly once or twice per month. New releases will usually include updated software. A new release in the same month as an existing release will typically be less major, and will have a version in the format **YYYY.MM.2**. You can upgrade an existing MassOS installation by using the [MassOS Upgrade Utility](https://github.com/TheSonicMaster/massos-upgrade).
