System requirements
Hardware
Section titled “Hardware”| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | 64-bit x86 (x86-64-v3) | 4 cores or more |
| Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 64 GB | SSD |
| Firmware | UEFI | UEFI with Secure Boot |
| Accelerators | – | GPU or NPU, for running models locally |
aarch64 (64-bit ARM) is not available yet.
A network connection is needed for updates, for installing apps from Flathub and for cloud models. Kleinia also works offline with local models.
Virtual machines
Section titled “Virtual machines”A virtual machine is the recommended way to try the technology preview. Any hypervisor with UEFI support works; on Linux, GNOME Boxes and virt-manager (QEMU/KVM) are the easiest.
Give the virtual machine at least:
- 4 virtual CPUs
- 8 GB of memory
- a 64 GB disk
- UEFI firmware (not legacy BIOS)
3D acceleration is optional.
Running models locally
Section titled “Running models locally”Kleinia doesn’t need a local model: the unified model gateway can use cloud models instead. If you want to run models on the machine itself, how large a model you can use depends on your GPU memory, or on system memory if you run on the CPU.
Hardware support
Section titled “Hardware support”The preview has been tested mostly in virtual machines. Reports from real laptops and desktops are very welcome: see Get help for how to send one.
