The next chapter of Proton OS is already in development, bringing a newer Linux kernel while keeping the stability and experience that define Proton OS.
With the initial release of Proton OS 1.0 Core receiving an incredible response from the community, we are already looking toward the next stage of development.
The next major milestone on the Proton OS roadmap is Proton OS Frontier.
Development has already started, and Frontier is currently in the testing phase. The goal is to take the same stable Proton OS experience and move it forward with a newer Linux kernel, currently based on Linux kernel 7.1.
Proton OS Frontier will have the same desktop environment than core, but it will be more up-to-date with cutting-edge technology that is coming to the market, while maintaining the stability, simplicity, and usability that Proton OS was designed around.
Right now, Frontier is being tested internally and is not yet considered a stable release.
Testing is an important part of this process. We want to make sure that moving to a newer kernel does not sacrifice the reliability and simplicity that users expect from Proton OS.
The roadmap will continue to evolve as we learn from testing and community feedback. Frontier is just the next step in a much larger journey.
Our goal remains the same: build a powerful, secure, stable, and easy-to-use operating system for small businesses and everyday users.
Proton OS Frontier is the next step. And we're just getting started.
FAQ: Should I move from Proton OS Core to Frontier? No, not necessarily. If Proton OS Core is working well on your computer, there is no need to move to Frontier. Proton OS Core is intended to provide a stable and reliable experience, and you should continue using it if it works well with your hardware. So, who is Frontier for?
Proton OS Frontier is primarily intended for newer and more modern hardware that may require a more up-to-date Linux kernel for proper hardware support.
