Your games.
Faster.
Nothing in the way.
Luma is a free, open source operating system with a Windows compatibility layer built in. Your Steam library runs. Discord, OBS, and Spotify run next to it. And when you press play, the rest of the system goes quiet.
Illustrative. Real numbers depend on your hardware and the game.
Your operating system should be the least interesting thing about your evening.
Here’s how Luma goes about that, in three moves.
Your library.
Every launcher and every game you already own. Same icons, same saves, same search.
The Windows compatibility layer is part of Luma, not something you bolt on. Steam, Epic, GOG, itch.io, and Battle.net install like any other app, and every game in them gets its own icon in the dock, its own file associations, and its own entry in search. Type three letters and it is there, in the same list as your folders.
No launcher wrapping a launcher. No launcher fighting the system. You sit down and the game you were playing last night is one click away.
Launchers
Icons that match
A Windows app on Luma gets its real icon in the dock and the app grid, not a generic placeholder.
Files that open
Save files, mods, and configs open in the app that made them. Double-click works the way you expect.
Drivers and controllers, in the box
Graphics drivers ship with the system and update with it. Controllers pair and work across the desktop and in the game.
Your tools.
Everything around the game for a late-night session. All there, none of it fighting the game.
Discord for the party. OBS for the stream. Spotify for the lobby. A browser for the wiki. VLC for the clip you just recorded. They install, update, and uninstall like everything else, under one permission model, so nothing gets special treatment and nothing gets left behind.
One update list covers the system, the drivers, and every app in it, on a schedule you set. Remove an app and its files and settings go with it.
Removing an app removes its files and its settings. Illustrative.
Game Mode
Press play. Everything else goes quiet.
Flip it and Luma holds notifications, pauses updates and Luma Sync, and keeps background apps from asking for attention. Flip it back and everything picks up where it left off.
Ari can flip it for you when a game launches, if you want. Or you remove Ari entirely and it never bothers you.
Illustrative. The real switch lives in Quick Settings.
On the go.
Luma in your pocket and on the tablet runs what you expect, and the desk keeps up with you.
Android games run through the built-in Android layer, the same one that runs Spotify on the desk. Clash of Clans on the phone, Genshin Impact on the tablet, with the same permission model and the same update list as everything else.
Your Steam library stays on the desk; nobody is promising you Elden Ring on a phone. What travels is everything around it. Luma Sync keeps the desk and the phone in step, so the Discord thread you were reading on the big screen is open on the small one, and the notifications that waited are waiting in the same place.

Luma Sync
Start on the desk, continue on the phone. Same apps, same state, nothing to set up.
The Android layer
Android games and apps run through it on the phone, the tablet, and the desk. Your PC games stay where the GPU is.
One system
Desktop, tablet, and phone run the same Luma, with one permission model and one update list between them.
Try it first
Boot it from a stick. Decide later.
Write Luma to a USB stick, boot from it, and use the whole system for an evening: open Steam, launch something, check your frame rate. Nothing on your disk changes while you try it. Install when you are sure, or pull the stick out and carry on.
