Desktops

AxOS has 3 default desktops. Learn more about them in this reference page.

Plasma

Plasma (or KDE Plasma) is the default desktop environment for AxOS. It is a powerful, user-friendly, stable and customizable desktop environment.

As it is a very known and active desktop environement, you can find everything you need on Internet.

Pros	Cons
Active community	Not the most resource-efficient
Very customizable	Not the most aesthetic and original
Stable
User-friendly

Calla

Calla (made by Stardust-kyun) is the second desktop environment for AxOS. It is a lightweight and ressource efficient desktop environment.

Calla is a tiling window manager, so you can manage your windows with a keyboard. It is also better if used with keybindings, so you can manage your windows with a keyboard. You can find them by pressing Super + F1. If you need, you can change some settings (including keybindings) by editing the /usr/share/calla/desktop/config/bind.lua file.

Pros	Cons
Lightweight	Hard to (fully) use
Tiling	Less stable than Plasma
Resource-efficient	Less features than other desktops

Sleex

Sleex (based on Hyprland) is the third desktop environment for AxOS. It is the most aesthetic and feature-rich desktop environment of the 3. It has a lot of features, smooth animations and a lot of cool stuff, but it is also the least stable.

Like Calla, it is a tiling window manager, so you can manage your windows with a keyboard. It is also better if used with keybindings, so you can manage your windows with a keyboard. You can find them by pressing Super + F1. If you need, you can change some settings (including keybindings) by editing files in .config/hypr/hyprland/ folder. You can change the wallpaper by pressing Super + T.

By default, the keyboard layout is set to US QWERTY, no matter what you chosed in the installation. You can change it by editing the .config/hypr/hyprland/general.conf file.

Pros	Cons
Aesthetic	Less stable
Feature-rich	Less user-friendly than Plasma
