Who it is for
SolsticeOS is built for people who want their machine to run properly without handing a cleanup tool the keys to their data.
It sits in the system & performance part of the catalogue, and your installed games never leave the machine to be processed. There is no server behind SolsticeOS to send them to.
Local-first, by design
Plenty of the alternatives send your installed games to a server to be handled. SolsticeOS does not. Processing runs on your CPU or GPU, and the games you have installed stay where you put them. The application keeps working with the network switched off.
That is not a setting you enable, it is how SolsticeOS is built, which is why there is no account to create and no subscription to lapse. Full detail is in the SolsticeOS privacy policy.
