Disclaimer
ArcaOS may not install or run on all systems, and Arca Noae makes no claim that it does. If you are unsure as to the suitability of your hardware for ArcaOS, there are several wiki pages which may be helpful: Choosing a System for ArcaOS, System Requirements, UEFI diagnostics (which includes a downloadable stand-alone System Evaluation tool), and Tested Hardware, or you can contact us. There is no trial or demonstration version available.
All license sales are final. Once your personalized ISO has been downloaded, you have effectively torn the shrinkwrap off of physical media, and there is no way for us to return that to stock. We are very happy to work with you to resolve any installation or operational issues which you may have, and we continue to improve hardware support for ArcaOS.
