What exactly is HROS?
HROS stands for Human Router Operating System. It combines a Linux Mint foundation with local AI through Ollama, with the human at the centre. ONLY governance and PrimeSwarm are optional additions.
How much does HROS cost?
HROS follows the proven Red Hat and MakuluLinux model: the core operating system and bootable ISO are 100% free and open for anyone to download, install bare-metal, and run local AI. When your organization needs advanced features, priority security patches, enterprise maintenance (MTCE), continuous updates, and SLA support, we offer transparent, decently priced commercial subscriptions. Profit is not a dirty word — it directly finances sovereign, local-first engineering.
How soon can I install it?
The installation link is made available on your purchase page immediately after payment is confirmed. Before installing, back up your files and check the official release instructions and system requirements. This storefront preview does not take payments or issue installers.
Does local AI work without the internet?
Supported Ollama models can run locally after the software and models have been downloaded. Downloads, updates, cloud models, and connected integrations still need internet access. Hardware requirements depend on the model you choose.
What changes when I add ONLY or PrimeSwarm?
HROS + ONLY combines the operating system with AI governing layers at a separate bundle price. PrimeSwarm is an optional usage-based add-on. The calculator is illustrative; the billing unit and actual rate must be agreed before use.
Is this an official European AI certification?
No official certification claim is being made on this page. A valid claim needs a named issuing body, a defined scope, and supporting documentation. Local processing and governance tools can support your approach, but compliance obligations depend on your use case, deployment, and role.
