'''CatOS''' is a Chinese, [[Arch Linux]]-based, [[Linux distribution]]. CatOS began as a distribution that was meant to work out-of-the-box and be friendly to Chinese users. It does this by using tools such as [[Fcitx|Fcitx]]. It also incorporates Linux Boxes by default, which emulate certain distributions, such as [[Alpine Linux]], [[Arch Linux]], [[CentOS]], [[ClearOS]], [[Debian]], [[Deepin]], [[Fedora Linux]], [[Gentoo Linux]], [[OpenSUSE]], [[RHEL]], [[Rocky Linux]], [[Ubuntu]], and [[Void Linux]]. It also uses the [[Calamares (software)|Calamares]] installer for out-of-the-box usage. It also has the Arch Linux, Arch Linux CN, Arch Linux For Education, and its own repository. It also has a software installer which can be used to install Chinese native applications, like [[WeChat]], and [[QQ]]. It supports all things Arch Linux can do, with no delay. It supports many languages, but mostly, [[Mandarin Language|Chinese]], and [[English Language|English]]. It is licensed freely under the GNU [[GPL 3.0]], and has official accounts on [[Xiaohongshu]].
