I'm on the hunt for a specific Linux distro, but I'm drawing a complete blank on its name! I can't even recall if it's based on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, or something else, and I have no idea when it came out. I think it was only released in 2025, around July or August. I've checked Distrowatch, Distrosea, Google, ChatGPT, and even my browser history, but no luck.
Here's what I remember about the distro:
- The website had a muted colour palette, with soft pastels like light yellows, beiges, and maybe some pastel reds or blues. It was designed simply and was really easy on the eyes, avoiding harsh contrasts.
- The wallpapers were coastal, showing views of the beach or coast through large windows or French doors, captured in photographs.
If you have any idea what this distro might be, please help out!

What about AerynOS? It has a unique vibe to it, but maybe it's not the right one.
Have you considered the name Pikaos? It matches the coastal theme somewhat.
I checked that one, but it's not it.
That sounds like a tough one! Honestly, I'm a bit confused why you’re so invested in a distro you can't remember much about other than a pretty website. But hey, maybe it's more about the feeling it gave you?
I get that it seems odd. It’s like I remember the vibe rather than specifics. Sometimes it sticks with you without a clear reason!
You could try the distro selection page on a Linux wiki! They might help narrow it down for you.
Could it be Vanilla OS or Endless OS? I've heard they have some cool designs and themes.
Not those ones either. I'm really stumped!

Nope, not that one either.
