Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is a modified version of the GNU operating system along with the Linux-libre kernel distributed by Hyperbola Project. We are now listed by the Free Software Foundation as meeting their guidelines for a fully free software OS.
From the official FSF announcement:
"In a world where proprietary operating systems continually up the ante in terms of the abuse they heap on their users, adding another distribution to the list of fully free systems is a welcome development. Hyperbola represents another safe home for users looking for complete control over their own computing," said John Sullivan, FSF's executive director.
"Hyperbola is a fully free distribution based on Arch snapshots and Debian development without nonfree software, documentation, or any type of support for the installation or execution of nonfree software. Unlike Arch, which is a rolling release distribution, Hyperbola is a long-term one focused on stability and security inspired from Debian and Devuan," said André Silva, Hyperbola co-founder and developer.
FSF's licensing and compliance manager, Donald Robertson, added, "It was a pleasure working with the team behind Hyperbola throughout this process. They really go above and beyond in terms of looking out for the rights of their users."
We want to thank our members fellows, support staff, security team, artists, developers, founders and YOU for having contributed in Hyperbola and making this possible.
Happy Hacking!
All UXP-Hardened-Preferences packages also known as iceweasel-uxp-hardened-preferences and icedove-uxp-hardened-preferences are being removed as we have added custom firejail profiles for each UXP application.
The about:config options were useful prior to our transition to UXP, when we did not have control over upstream (Mozilla) sources.
As we have been implementing the features directly into our applications, these left-over hacks are no longer needed.
After several weeks of work and testing, we hearby announce the first stable release of Iceape-UXP, a classic suite based on SeaMonkey. While our primary focus remains Icedove-UXP, and Iceweasel-UXP, users that have requested a stable suite may now enjoy using it.
Several long-standing SeaMonkey bugs have been patched in this release including some security and crash fixes.
We would also like to thank the Unified XUL Platform development team for their diligent development of the Goanna engine, which makes Iceape-UXP possible.
Some of the new application features:
- New internal web engine with regular security updates, courtesy UXP.
- Security fixes ...

We apologize for the brief downtime earlier this week. All services have now been successfully migrated and restored to full functionality.
In order to better use existing donations, Hyperbola founders decided to switch from Gandi to UltraVPS for hosting our website, repositories and services infrastructure. This will save us from paying 120 EUR every 3 months.
Hyperbola Project has now paid for two years of hosting so that we can have more stability moving forward. This comes to 100 EUR yearly for 2 VPS machines.
