BengalOS is an immutable Linux distribution targeting smartphones. It is based on Debian and Phosh, and is currently in alpha development. BengalOS provides nightly builds[1] and currently targets devices based on Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs, including the Google Pixel 3a[2], OnePlus 6, and SHIFT6mq.

Due to its immutable architecture users install additional applications as Flatpaks or in a container [3]

The Phosh project builds the BengalOS images to make the latest changes available to users in a safely upgradable way, provide a reference implementation of the Phosh stack and to ease communicating the project's goals[4].
