| We’re excited to announce the release of a new portable AROS distribution, designed to run directly from a USB stick. This project was created for users who want to explore AROS without the need to install it on a hard drive or invest in dedicated hardware.
Watch the system in action:

Who is this for?
This distribution is aimed at:
- curious users who want to try out AROS without prior experience,
- those who don’t own (or don’t want to buy) compatible recommended hardware,
- enthusiasts who want to carry AROS in their pocket – ready to boot on the go.
This is not meant to replace existing AROS distributions, but rather to complement them. It’s a convenient tool for discovering and using AROS in a modern and accessible way.
System requirements:
- A reasonably modern x86_64 (64-bit) computer,
- USB 3.0 support (both host and USB stick),
- A 1920Ă—1080 display,
- Processor virtualization option (usually Intel VT-x, “Intel Virtualization Technology” or AMD-V, “SVM Mode”) available in BIOS/UEFI and enabled.
What does it offer?
- Quick and easy boot from USB – no installation required,
- A ready-to-use graphical environment upon launch,
- User experience similar to that of dedicated hardware.

The image should be written to a flash drive of at least 16GB (under Windows, for example, using Rufus).

Just download the image and try it for yourself. All you need is an USB3.0 pendrive. _________________

If you want to run AROS inside VirtualBox, just take the regular AROS One 2.8 or the 64-bit AROS One. There is no advantage of using this pendrive image inside virtual machine - this image is meant for modern real hardware. _________________
