The live image boots into a KDE Plasma desktop and a custom system installer which provides several popular desktop options available for installation, including KDE Plasma, GNOME, COSMIC and Cinnamon, as well as a customized Niri Wayland compositor. The distribution uses the long-term supported (LTS) Linux kernel compiled with kernel parameters optimised for speed and it also includes a pre-configured TLP utility for extending battery life.
StratOS Linux is an Arch-based Linux distribution which uses scripts from Bedrock Linux to include various packages and repositories from other Linux distributions. It provides several desktop variants featuring the GNOME desktop as well as the Hyprland and the Niri Wayland compositors. The project also develops several custom tools, such as StratVIM (a fork of the Neovim text editor), Rockers (a custom package manager wrapper able to fetch and install binary and source packages from other Linux distributions and from Flatpaks), Stratmacs (a custom Emacs configuration), grab (a fetch script), and Maneki-Neko (a Welcome application).

The new kernel added initial support for Tenstorrent Blackhole, the high-performance AI processor and PCIe accelerator family designed by Tenstorrent.
It also added 32-bit version of LoongArch processors support, initial support for Black Sesame C1200 SoC designed for integrate intelligent driving.
For Intel, the new kernel added audio support for the upcoming Core Ultra Series 4 processors (Nova Lake). It added new imh_edac EDAC driver for Xeon Diamond Rapids processors, Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) hardware security feature, as well support the Intel microcode staging feature to deal with large microcode binary.
AMD now has Zen 6 RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) preparation, and Smart Data Cache Injection (SDCI) support, allows for data to be inserted from the I/O devices into the L3 cache directly. And, it improved AES-GCM crypto performance for up to 74% faster for AMD Zen 3 processors.
