Operating System support¶
Dangerzone can run on various Operating Systems (OS), and has automated tests for most of them. This section explains which OS we support, how long we support each version, and how we test Dangerzone against these.
You can find general support information in this table, and more details in the following sections.
(Unless specified, the architecture of the OS is AMD64)

Notes:
⥿ We provide support for Windows 10 on a best effort basis, given that it is currently end of life. Windows on Arm is not supported at this time.
✢ Qubes OS support assumes the use of a Fedora template. The supported releases follow our general support for Fedora.

Note on unsupported Linux distros¶
.deb and .rpm packages are provided for supported distributions. Users of other Debian-based or Fedora-based distros that are not listed above may be able to install Dangerzone through these packages. Unfortunately, Dangerzone is not tested against these distros, and might fail to install, update, run, or be broken in subtle ways.
Please, proceed at your own risk, only if you know what you're doing.
