Shadowfetch Linux 2.1.4 running KDE Plasma 6 with the Umbra fire wallpaper

Fire Edition · Umbra · 2.1.4

A private workstation that looks like it belongs to you.

Debian underneath. Plasma 6 on the glass. Ember when you need speed, Phoenix when you need a way back. Local AI stays optional — and on the machine.

Umbra identity

Fire Edition is the product, not a wallpaper pack.

  • Control Center

    One window: Ignite, Watch, Recover, Agents, Drivers, and Software & Updates. Deep links land in the same place.

  • Ember Mode

    A temporary performance hold that always returns to Balanced. Runtime only — a power cut reverts by reboot.

  • Phoenix

    Named restore points around updates. If the desktop does not come back, the next boot opens recovery at the right Point.

  • Fireproof

    Review the upgrade before the dpkg lock is taken. Verify after. No unattended installs, no telemetry.
