Own it outright.
Dagric comes from dagr — Old Norse for day — and ric — ruler. Your computer, your day, your rule. That's the whole idea.
Why we built it
Somewhere along the way, the operating system stopped working for the person who bought the computer. It started watching, advertising, nagging, restarting itself at the worst moment, and renting you back features you already owned. Dagric OS is the antithesis: a desktop that is quiet, private, fast, and finished — set up the way a careful friend would set it up, and then it gets out of your way.
What we promise
- Zero Dagric telemetry. The installed OS sends us no usage analytics or crash reports.
- No ads, no accounts. The desktop is not a billboard, and your machine works without permission from a server.
- No forced restarts. Security updates land silently; the reboot is yours to choose.
- No subscriptions. Pro's one-time purchase provides private delivery, guided upgrade, and support for one managed machine. It is checked when claimed, with no recurring purchase check; component-level open-source rights remain unchanged.
- Repairable by design. Snapshots before updates; roll back from the boot menu, on the default btrfs install.
Standing on giants
Dagric OS is built from free and open-source software — the Linux kernel, Debian 13, and KDE Plasma — curated, hardened, branded, and tested into a coherent product. Dagric publishes checksums, signatures, package inventories, and licence notices, and now keeps binary delivery held until the exact corresponding-source and human review gates pass. Proprietary applications such as Steam and the NVIDIA driver are not bundled; separately licensed hardware-enablement components in published 1.0 include firmware, microcode, Broadcom installers, and two astronomy-camera libraries. The exact status is on the licenses page.
When you buy Pro, you're not buying exclusivity over free software — you're buying curation, convenience, integration, and support, and you're funding the work that keeps Dagric OS maintained.
Who we are
Dagric OS is made by IMPRESSIONSDIRECT360 LLC, an independent company in the United States. It is led by Dorien Richardson, a Linux and full-stack developer in St. Louis, Missouri. The project's engineering history is public on GitHub, and the founder's professional background is available on LinkedIn. Small on purpose: one product, done right.
