ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is now the preinstalled office suite on OpenOS/bNode

In this blog post, you will learn why the developers of OpenOS/bNode, a privacy-first Linux-based operating system, made ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors the preinstalled office suite for their promising open-source project.

About OpenOS/bNode

OpenOS/bNode is a modern, privacy-first Linux operating system built on top of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the Linux 6.8 kernel. Released in June 2026, it combines an elegant design, powerful security features and complete Android APK support in one package. The philosophy of this project is to provide a complete, out-of-the-box solution for users who value freedom, performance and security.

Unlike traditional Linux distributions that usually need extensive post-installation setup and configuration, OpenOS/bNode comes with more than 70 pre-installed applications to make sure its users have all the required tools at hand.

These are the pillars of the operating system:

• Privacy first. There are no telemetry services, no tracking tools, no predefined cloud integration and no metadata collection in OpenOS/bNode, which guarantees that your data always belongs to you.
• Modern design. OpenOS/bNode strives to provide a beautiful and functional interface with smooth animations, combining the Apple-like elegance with the Linux freedom.
• Focus on developers. Although the OS offers pre-installed apps for all kinds of users, it’s mainly designed for software development due to tools like VS Code, Node.js, Python, Rust, Docker, Git and more.
• Total control and flexible configuration. With full kernel access, advanced sysctl parameters and the absence of forced updates, OpenOS/bNode allows you to keep everything under control.
