Endless OS — дистрибутив Linux на основе Debian. Дистрибутив скомпилирован поверх ядра Linux и других технологий с открытым исходным кодом (Chromium, GNOME, GRUB, GTK+, PulseAudio, Rufus, Systemd, X.org, Yelp и многие другие). В отличие от большинства дистрибутивов Linux, Endless OS использует корневую файловую систему только для чтения, управляемую и Flatpak для получения и обновления приложений. Пользовательский интерфейс основан на сильно модифицированной среде рабочего стола GNOME. Endless Computers публикует свои компоненты FOSS и Форки на GitHub. Первым публичным релизом стала Endless OS 2.1.0 в июле 2014 года. В середине декабря 2017 года была выпущена Endless OS 3.3.6. Последней версией Endless OS является версия 4.
