Features
Not another subscription pile.
Altima changes the question. Instead of asking which cloud platform to rent next, it asks what your computer should be able to do for you locally.
Local-firstCore workflows continue even when connectivity is limited.
ModularTurn capabilities on, test them, and keep only the ones you use.
OwnableThe base system remains useful even if subscriptions are removed.
The Altima Way
Install once - for free, expand as needed.
Start with a polished Linux desktop. Grow into POS, publishing, payments, hosting, monitoring, remote support, and business operations.
Simple idea:
Capabilities extend the system. They do not take ownership away.
Applications grouped by purpose.
Altima is not presented with random utilities. The included and optional applications support real work.
Publishing & Creation
Build, edit, publish, and maintain content without being locked into someone else’s CMS.

Appliances

Hardware
Great hardware deserves a second life.
Apple is a computer company that makes software run better. Altima is a software company that makes computers run better.
That is why Altima recommends well-built hardware — especially Apple computers, compact mini PCs, and appliance-class systems that can be repurposed into reliable local infrastructure.
Apple T2
Special edition for T2 Macs where drivers and setup matter.
AMD / Intel
General editions for desktops, laptops, and mini PCs.
Altima Mini
Small, quiet systems for POS, hosting, offices, and resorts.
Appliances
Dedicated boxes for monitoring, mail, remote access, and local infrastructure.
