Your games,
at home on Linux.

Azrak makes a Linux PC feel like a console: PS5, PS4 and PC games together in one calm library, played with a controller from the sofa.

AzrakOS

Turn a spare PC
into a game console.

AzrakOS is a small Linux, built on Fedora, with the launcher as the whole screen. Turn the PC on and your games are there: no desktop, no passwords to type, no pop-ups.

Download AzrakOS · 1.8 GB What my PC needs
Welcome to AzrakOS
Runs from the stick. Nothing on the PC changes.Continue
  1. 01

    Put it on a USB stick

    Any stick of 4 GB or more. Write the image with balenaEtcher: choose the file, the stick, then Flash.

  2. 02

    Start the PC from it

    Press the boot menu key as the PC starts (usually F12, F11, F8 or Esc) and pick the stick. It runs from there; nothing on the PC changes.

  3. 03

    Try it, or install it

    Play from the stick first if you like. To install, pick a disk and wait a few minutes. From then on the PC starts straight into Azrak.

Everything from the sofa

Wi-Fi, controllers, sound and updates are all in Settings, set up with the controller. No keyboard, no terminal.

Updates you never have to fear

The system, the launcher and the emulators update on their own. If an update ever breaks something, the previous version is still there in the boot menu: pick it and you're back.

Starts the newest AzrakOS.

What your PC needs

  • Processor4 cores, from 2013 or later (Intel Haswell, AMD Excavator and newer)
  • Memory8 GB, or 16 GB for PS5 games
  • GraphicsVulkan 1.3: AMD, NVIDIA or Intel. NVIDIA's driver is set up by itself
  • Disk64 GB, and internet for games and updates

Bring the games you already have

Point AzrakOS at the folder or drive where your games are, in Settings → Game folders, and they're on Home with their covers. Installing AzrakOS erases the disk you pick, so keep your games on another one.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The launcher and AzrakOS cost nothing and are open source under the MIT License, with all their code on GitHub.

Will every PS5 or PS4 game run?

Not yet. The emulators are young, so each game tells you what to expect on your PC before you start it, from what other players found on Linux.

Do I need AzrakOS?

No. The launcher runs on most Linux systems: Ubuntu 22.04 and newer, Debian 12, Fedora 36, Mint 21, Arch and SteamOS 3. AzrakOS is for a PC you want to use only as a console.

Why only Linux?

Because it's the better place to play: open, fast, and yours. Azrak is made for Linux and only for Linux, so all of the work goes into making it great there.

What happens to my saves when something updates?

Nothing. The launcher updates itself and its emulators without touching your saves, and on AzrakOS the version before an update stays in the boot menu.

Something doesn't work. Where do I tell you?

Open an issue on GitHub for the launcher or AzrakOS. Saying which game and which PC helps a lot.

Your sofa is waiting.
