Marsh¶
Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.8 · Base: Fedora 45 · Architecture: x86_64
Marsh is the flagship edition of CapivaraOS. KDE Plasma is one of the most customisable desktops on Linux, and Marsh arrives with it already arranged: global menu bar at the top, dock at the bottom, dark theme, and the project's visual identity from boot to desktop.
It is the most feature-rich of the three, and the one that asks the most of the machine.
What ships with it¶
- KDE Plasma 6.8 on a Wayland session
- Firefox as the default browser
- LibreOffice, with Portuguese translation
- VLC for video and audio
- KeePassXC for passwords
- Snapper, for Btrfs snapshots
- COS Dev Center and COS Config Center, exclusive to CapivaraOS
For developers¶
COS Dev Center opens at first boot and sets up the workstation: local AI running on your own machine, per-user language tracks, dev tools and GitHub configured — no terminal.
Visual identity¶
Theme, icons, Plymouth and GRUB coherent from boot to desktop, with a wallpaper collection of our own. On Marsh the wallpaper changes by itself with the time of day.
Switching between light and dark
Switch through Colors, in System Settings, not through the Global Theme — Breeze's stock Global Theme overrides our settings and undoes part of the identity.
Requirements¶
See Hardware requirements. Marsh is the heaviest of the three; on more modest machines, Pup delivers the same toolkit with a lighter desktop.
Upgrading¶
From Series 2 on, Marsh upgrades without reinstalling, from one version to the next and from one series to the following. See Updating the system.
