What changed?
A slow workload, a hot machine and a failed service may be related. Keep the host, the work it’s running and its operating history together.

Run your own machines.
Understand what they’re doing.
Arcturus connects machine health, service behavior and recovery. The open-source consumer edition is our path for developers, home labs and people who want more control over the computers they depend on.
Consumer release planned. Ask about access and your operating system. Published downloads and licenses are listed with each released tool.
A practical reason to run it
A home lab is still
an operating environment.
A personal server can lose a service, run out of headroom or leave you wondering whether a restart fixed anything. You shouldn’t need an enterprise operations team to understand your own system.
What can I safely do next?
Recovery needs a sequence, limits and a way to check that useful work has returned. The person operating the computer stays in control of the response.
Read about services & recoveryWhere is the capacity going?
Busy hardware isn’t the same as completed work. Look at the workload, contention, response time and correct output before assuming a new machine is the answer.
Explore compute performanceThe distribution approach
An edition for Omarchy.
A foundation that isn’t tied to it.
Omarchy is the first tailored edition we’re planning. The aim is a straightforward installation, useful defaults and an interface that belongs on the desktop, with the underlying systems work kept separate from the distribution.
Standard Linux distributions are part of the wider release direction. The goal is to carry the operating model across systems through platform-specific adapters, not rebuild a different product for every desktop.
Tell us your distribution, hardware and the services you run. We’ll use that context to discuss the right edition and access path. Platform support will be documented with the actual releases.

The machine matters
at every scale.
For your own machines
The consumer direction is useful local operation and an open-source release people can inspect and build on. Start with the public tools or ask about the planned Arcturus edition.
Ask about consumer accessFor a team or operating fleet
Organizations add shared policy, integration, deployment and someone accountable for the operating scope. Bring us those requirements for a commercial engagement.
