Inspect changes first
Before the system changes, Tacid shows the plan and the configuration diff. The agent cannot approve its own work.
How a change is made Pre-release Built on NixOS
Linux with an agent.Control stays with you.
TacidOS is a Linux distribution with an agent built into the system, not added as an all-powerful application.
Ask for a change in plain language. Inspect what will happen, approve what matters, and keep a known-good generation to return to.
There is no supported public download yet.

Designed for control
The agent proposes.
The system enforces.
Return to a working system
Configuration changes create NixOS generations. If a change fails its checks, the previous generation remains available.
How rollback worksSet firm boundaries
Policy controls permissions, network access, and approvals. The agent works through typed operations, not an unrestricted root shell.
The security modelProject status
In development, not ready for daily use.
The core, installer, Hyprland session, tacid-shell, and probe tools exist in source and have run in emulated machines. Hardware validation, a public ISO, and a live provider key remain.
