At the beginning of the article, we will describe the technical advantages and features of the EuroLinux ecosystem, and then provide links to the release notes documents along with the launch documentation.

Open Core

As of version 8.3, EuroLinux is available both as a paid supported subscription and free of charge in the Open Core model. The advantage of such a solution is to deliver the greatest possible value to users and the community. It is a modern, transparent and responsible business model.

As of version 8.3, every user of EuroLinux and EuroLinux containers receives a complete system with updates released at the same time for users using the paid and free versions.
The paid version of the system additionally provides the following::

  • direct technical support from the manufacturer,
  • the access to additional intermediate packages (if the support service requires it),
  • the ability to influence product development.

The system is also available at no charge in the released version of EuroLinux 9 and EuroLinux 9 Desktop. The freeware edition is fully functional, but does not include commercial support for the product.

The complete stack – all system releases

EuroLinux is available and supported in versions 9.x, 8.x, 7.x and 6.x. This allows it to be used as the only system in your organization’s ecosystem.
The latest supported versions of EuroLinux are:

  • 9.3 – fully supported system,
  • 8.9 – fully supported system,
  • 7.9 – fully supported system,
  • 6.10 – supported with EuroELS

EuroLinux Desktop Live

We also encourage you to test the Live ISO of EuroLinux Desktop. This is a very well-received modern operating system that combines the reliability and security of the Enterprise Linux distribution with the look and functionality of Windows® and macOS®.
