ZestISO


Last Update: 2026-03-26 15:31 UTC


ZestISO is a rolling-release desktop Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It comes in two editions - "KDE Gaming" and "Xfce", with the former designed for modern computers and with gaming and multimedia software as well as HDR (High Dynamic Range) video support included, while the latter is a lightweight option designed for older systems. Both editions provide the Wine compatibility layer for running some Windows games and programs and offer support for Microsoft's NTFS volumes. ZestISO uses its own graphical installation wizard called "ZestISO Installer".

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 457 (3), 6 months: 457 (6), 3 months: 457 (12), 4 weeks: 342 (38), 1 week: 99 (166)

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
