Centralized management for Linux desktops with Frost

Managing Linux desktops at scale can be challenging: different distributions, inconsistent configurations, and manual setup often lead to drift and wasted time. Frost solves this by providing a centralized, reliable way to manage your Linux desktop fleet. It ensures every machine is configured exactly as intended, integrates smoothly with your existing infrastructure, and makes Linux desktops a first-class citizen in your organization.

Built on NixOS

At the core of Frost is NixOS, a Linux distribution designed for declarative configuration and reproducibility. By using NixOS, every desktop’s setup is defined in code - from installed applications to security policies and system services. This guarantees that desktops are always configured consistently, and that changes are easy to roll out or roll back.

With Nix’s modular design, Frost is also highly extendable. Whether you need to integrate specific business applications, enforce custom security settings, or tailor desktop environments for different departments, Frost can adapt while keeping configurations reliable and repeatable.

Seamless Identity Management

Frost supports LDAP for centralized management, making it simple to control users, groups, and policies across your fleet. For businesses that already rely on Active Directory (AD), Frost can integrate seamlessly. Even if Linux is only part of your infrastructure, you can manage your desktops with the same identity provider.

This means user onboarding, offboarding, and permissions are unified, and administrators don’t need to juggle multiple systems.

Why Frost?

• Consistency by design - every desktop runs the exact configuration you define.
• Scalable - manage tens, hundreds or thousands of Linux desktops with the same ease.
• Flexible - extend and customize to match your business needs.
• Compatible - integrates with AD and existing infrastructure
• Cost-effective - extend workstations lifetime by switching to linux.
