First
Download SysLinuxOS.
Second:
Create a bootable USB using dd from the terminal:
cd ~/Downloadssudo dd if=SysLinuxOS_1X-Mate-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
Alternatively, you can use balenaEtcher, Raspberry Pi Imager (SysLinuxOS) available for Linux, Mac, and Windows, or directly from Windows using Rufus
Third:
Boot into Live mode.

Update 31/01/2026) SysinuxOS 13.1
With the ISOs downloaded to date, the Live version has very long boot times. To resolve this issue, you need to add username=admin hostname=SysLinuxOS to the kernel parameters.
It should look like this: linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live components quiet splash username=admin hostname=SysLinuxOS
The next ISOs, which are currently being uploaded, will not be affected by this issue.
Update 28/01/2026) SysinuxOS 13.1
A few important things to do after installing SysLinuxOS 13.1.
After installing SysLinuxOS 13.1, the first boot is slow, but this is nothing to worry about. After running the commands below, everything will be ok when you reboot.
If you want to install SysLinuxOS in dual boot, use Install System icon or go to Applications > System Tools > Install SysLinuxOS and use the wizard via Calamares. Once SysLinuxOS is installed, proceed with the step below mandatory:
Few important things to do after installing SysLinuxOS 13.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
If Calamares fails try to install by connecting the power supply. I’ve noticed this can happen with some laptops.
if the network card name hasn’t changed, manually launch the script:
sudo /opt/scripts/rename-interfaces.shsudo reboot
enjoy 😉

Primo:
Scaricare SysLinuxOS.
Secondo:
Creare una usb per l’avvio, utilizzando dd da terminale:
cd ~/Downloadssudo dd if=SysLinuxOS_1X-Mate-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress
oppure anche Raspberry Pi Imager (SysLinuxOS), balenaEtcher disponibile per Linux, Mac e Windows, o direttamente da Windows utilizzando Rufus.
Terzo:
avviare in modalità Live.

Aggiornato 28/01/2026) SysinuxOS 13.1
Dopo aver installato SysLinuxOS 13.1, il primo avvio è lento, ma non c’è nulla di cui preoccuparsi. Dopo aver eseguito i comandi seguenti, tutto andrà bene al riavvio.
Se si desidera installare SysLinuxOS in dual boot, utilizzare l’icona sul Desktop “Install System” oppure andare in Applications > System Tools > Install SysLinuxOS ed utilizzare la procedura guidata tramite Calamares. Una volta installato SysLinuxOS procedere con i passi sotto obbligatorimante:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
sudo reboot
Nel caso Calamares dovesse fallire, collegare il notebook all’alimentatore. Ho notato che questo può succedere con alcuni laptops.
se al riavvio la scheda internet non viene ancora riconosciuta come eth0, wlan0, eseguire lo script manualmente:
sudo /opt/scripts/rename-interfaces.shsudo reboot
enjoy 😉

Hola, desde ya agradecerte esta enorme herramienta. Pero te consulto SyslinuxOS 12 Gnome no esta?.
Por que Debian y no Ubuntu? no tengo nada contra Debian es mas lo considero muy bueno.
Si bien vi las dos versiones, mate y gnome para las descargas, las versiones tienen herramientas distintas, cual consideras la mas completa y estable.
Nuevamente gracias!!!!
I love Debian 🙂

about virtualbox downgrade kernel and try again
sudo apt installl inux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64 linux-headers-6.1.0-9-amd64thanks
I can’t install SyslinuxOS, either Mate or Gnome. In both cases, I get a kernel panic that no init can be found. I’ve tried dd, balenaEtcher and Rufus, and it doesn’t make a difference. I’ve done diagnostics on my machine and nothing seems to be wrong. I am able to install Debian without a problem.
Hi
try to install by connecting the power supply, in some laptops it helps,
because the ISO is very compressed. Alternatively, try downloading SysLinuxOS 12.2 Mate again
Thanks, downloading Mate again did the trick. It’s installing and working now.
