Reflecting on the First Week of RefreshOS 3

It’s been a great week at eXybit Technologies!

It’s now been one week since the launch of RefreshOS 3, and we wrapped up the week with over 4,000 downloads across both SourceForge and MediaFire, along with more than 3,000 new visitors to the RefreshOS website.

These numbers may not seem substantial compared to mainstream Linux distributions, and some may even consider them low. However, for a budding company and a project that’s less than five years old, I consider it a huge success. I’m grateful for every single user who has downloaded, tested, and supported RefreshOS along the way.

Today, we also released the first official RefreshOS commercial, which you can watch here. The ad also features a track from a very talented musician and good friend, Jimmy Suspect.

Outside of RefreshOS, eXybit Technologies has also been pushing out updates across our network, fixing several SEO and monetization quirks to provide a cleaner experience and improve discoverability across both search engines and AI platforms.

As I’ve said before and will continue to say, thank you all for making this launch a success. Thank you for your interest, your feedback, and your support of my projects.

Have a great day, and as always, Happy Venturing 😎

eXybit Technologies Turns One!

eXybit Technologies turns one year old today! To celebrate, we're beginning the roll out of brand-new logos for most eXybit products and services, along with the launch of an entirely new platform, the eXybit Software Center . I’ve always known what I wanted to do, but my ideas came at different times and in different forms. The result was a mix of projects scattered across multiple websites and side ventures. In January 2025, I decided to shut everything down and rebuild from the ground up. I scrapped what no longer fit, refined what was worth keeping, and brought it all together under one unified banner: eXybit Technologies. Over the past year, eXybit Technologies has welcomed tens of thousands of new users to our products and services. We’ve launched new platforms, expanded the reach and capabilities of RefreshOS, and continued to evolve what it can do. Not long after our launch, we also acquired Absolute Linux, a Slackware-based distribution that’s been around since 2007. We’re...
