| zstd -d | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progressMake a USB stick
Run the command above with your USB stick (8 GB or more) as /dev/sdX. It erases the stick. Or write the download with Raspberry Pi Imager (pick "Use custom").
Try it
Start your computer from the stick. Din runs straight from it, so you can poke around without changing a thing.
Install it
Open Install DinOS. Put it next to Windows or take over the whole disk, with encryption if you want it.
Add Din to the desktop you already have.
On Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch, Din can go on your login screen next to your current desktop. Pick it when you log in, and go back whenever you like.
You'll need Node.js and Rust 1.85 or newer. The install script tells you which libraries are missing. If Din fails to start three times in a row, your login screen switches back to your old desktop.

On NixOS, Din comes as a module. Add the flake, turn it on, and Din shows up on your login screen, updating when you update the input.
