TriOS is built to run on a wide range of hardware — from modest machines to powerful workstations.

However, for the best experience, especially when gaming or developing, stronger hardware is recommended.

| Component | Minimum Specification | Example Hardware |
|**Display**| 1920×1080 (Full HD) or higher | 1080p or 1440p recommended for workstation use |

|**Network**| Broadband connection | Useful for updates, Steam, and package downloads |

TriOS will **run fine on older or modest systems**, but for a smooth KDE experience and creative workloads, modern midrange hardware or better is encouraged.
