About

Linux Library is a single-page website that makes finding and downloading any major Linux distribution easy. Instead of searching across a bunch of different sites, everything is in one place - with every link pointing to an official distribution mirror. No files are hosted here, ever.

Pick a distro, choose your architecture and edition in the designated download wizard, and you'll get the official ISO straight away in your browser.

Features

• 33 distributions - everything from everyday desktops to security-focused and enterprise distros
• Guided download wizard - modal guides you through architecture, desktop environment, and edition
• Multiple architectures - x64, ARM64, and Raspberry Pi images where available
• Official mirrors only - every link points to the distribution's own download servers
• Zero dependencies - only HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript; no frameworks, no build step
• Responsive - works on desktop, tablet, and mobile

Contributing

I really appreciate contributors. Here's how you can help:

Adding or updating a distribution

All distro data lives in the DISTROS array at the top of script.js. Each entry follows this structure:

{
  name: 'Example OS',
  website: 'https://example.com/',
  img: '/icons/exampleos.png',
  about: 'A short paragraph describing the distro...',
  links: [
    { url: 'https://example.com/example.iso', architecture: 'x64 (recommended)', desktop: 'GNOME (recommended)' },
    { url: 'https://example.com/example-arm.iso', architecture: 'ARM64', desktop: 'GNOME' },
  ],
}

Link objects can use any combination of the following optional keys alongside url:

Key	Example values
architecture	'x64 (recommended)', 'ARM64', 'Raspberry Pi'
desktop	'GNOME (recommended)', 'KDE Plasma', 'Xfce'
type	'Desktop', 'Server', 'Lite', 'Full'

The download wizard automatically detects which keys are present and builds the selection steps accordingly.

Adding an icon

Place a square PNG (preferably 512×512 or larger) in the /icons/ directory, named in lowercase with no spaces (e.g. exampleos.png), and reference it in the img field of the distro entry.

Updating outdated links

If a download URL has changed or a new version has been released, just open an issue or submit a pull request updating the URL in script.js.

Deployment

The site is deployed automatically via GitHub Pages from the main branch. No CI configuration is needed - just push to main and GitHub Pages will serve the updated site in a matter of minutes.
