Verified computers
Computers we've had success running Zeos on.
This is an honest list, and right now it's short. Zeos is an early alpha — the surface we've booted on is small and growing. If it runs somewhere new, we'll add it. If it breaks on your machine, that's a data point we want.
| Computer | Arch | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| QEMU q35 + OVMF | x86-64 | Success | The reference environment. Alpha 0.2 boots to the desktop under QEMU q35 with OVMF UEFI firmware. Best place to try Zeos first. |
| x86-64 UEFI PCs (general) | x86-64 | Success | Zeos targets standard x86-64 UEFI machines with a GOP framebuffer. Behavior varies by firmware and hardware — reports welcome. |
| ASUS Chromebox CN60 | x86-64 | In progress | Primary bare-metal target, booted from USB. Hardware bring-up on 0.2 is in progress. |
| ARM64 (Cortex-A72) | arm64 | In progress | First-light exists on ARM64 Cortex-A72. ARM support is early and actively being built — the ARM base installer is one of the three planned deliverables. |
What "success" means here
It boots
Zeos reaches its graphical desktop shell over UEFI on that machine or virtual platform.
It's honest
A row only shows Success once we've actually seen it. In-progress means bring-up is underway, not proven.
It's a snapshot
Alpha software moves fast. A machine that works today may regress in a later build — and vice versa.
Baseline for any machine
Beyond the specific computers above, Zeos aims to run on any standard x86-64 UEFI system. The essentials:
- • x86-64 CPU
- • UEFI firmware (no legacy BIOS)
- • GOP framebuffer for display
- • ~512 MB RAM or more

The fastest way to grow this list is real reports from real machines — what booted, what didn't, and what the screen showed. Success or failure, both are useful. Open an issue with your hardware details and we'll fold it in.
