Release & Installation Guide
Xenegade OS is currently in development. This page provides installation guidance for when a build becomes available. No public download exists yet.
When released, Xenegade OS will be available exclusively through Gumroad. The SmartScreen guidance below will apply at that time.
Before You Install — Read This First
When you first run the Xenegade OS installer, Windows may show a 'Windows protected your PC' warning. This is normal for independently published software that has not yet built a broad reputation with Microsoft's SmartScreen system.
Xenegade OS contains no malware, no adware, and no telemetry. Always verify you downloaded from the official Gumroad store and check the publisher name in the SmartScreen dialog before proceeding.
We are working toward Authenticode code signing. Signing identifies the publisher and helps establish trust with Windows, which can reduce SmartScreen warnings over time. However, warnings may still appear depending on your Windows settings and the software's reputation history — signing alone does not guarantee warnings are permanently eliminated.
