EARLY ACCESS · MANAGED LINUX DESKTOPS

Switching to Linux used to take courage.

Cybex helps schools, public sector teams and businesses move to managed Linux desktops — step by step, with rollback, without drama. Define your setup once; every computer follows it.

01 — HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Then it mostly runs itself.

01 — ENROLL

Computers introduce themselves

New machines register on first boot — pairing code, email invite, or straight off the network. No imaging station.
02 — BLUEPRINT

Describe the perfect setup once

Set up one reference computer by hand — the fun part. Cybex turns it into a versioned recipe for the whole group.
03 — ROLL OUT

Ship to ten, then a thousand

Test on one device, release in stages, and roll back with a click if you must. Boring by design.
02 — THE CONSOLE

Plain language. No jargon, no tickets.

The Console tells you what's happening and what it did about it — in sentences, not acronyms. Most of the time, it already fixed it.

Drift has nowhere to hide

Computers keep returning to their blueprint. You read about it afterwards, if at all.

Required, allowed, forbidden — you decide once. Software stays current across the fleet.

Updates that can't surprise you

Every change ships to a test group first. Going back is one click, not one weekend.
03 — CYBEX FORGE  NEW

The part of the cloud that lives in your building.

Cybex decides what should happen; Forge does the heavy lifting on your own network — booting bare machines, building systems, serving updates at wire speed. Only intents travel the internet.

Easy to deploy: run it on your Proxmox server with a one-line command, or boot a spare machine from the Forge ISO (soon).

WHY WE RECOMMEND IT — TO ALMOST EVERYONE

Updates at wire speed

Two hundred devices update from the cache in your building. Your internet uplink barely notices.

Bare metal, no USB sticks

Plug a new machine into the network — Forge boots it, installs it, and hands it over managed.

Works when the internet doesn't

Builds and packages are served locally, so a flaky uplink never stands between you and a working fleet.

05 — ABOUT CYBEX

Device management experience. A new chapter for Linux.

Cybex was founded by John, the founder of ZuluDesk, the education device management company that was subsequently acquired. Cybex brings that experience to deploying and managing Linux desktops.

For partnerships and business enquiries, contact John directly ↗.

06 — FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is moving to Linux disruptive for our users?

It doesn't have to be. Pilot one group, confirm it works, then expand — and roll back if you must. IT keeps control at every step.

Where is Cybex hosted?

The Cybex management service is hosted in the Netherlands. Cybex manages the hosting and maintenance, with device configurations and audit trails available through the Console.

Do we need Cybex Forge?

No — Cybex works fine without it. Forge is for when you want the heavy bits local: netbooting bare machines and updating two hundred devices without touching your uplink.

Can we read the source code?

Yes — the agent and Forge are source-available on GitHub. Security teams can verify exactly what runs on your machines. Trust by inspection, not promises.

Ready for the easy kind of brave?

Cybex is in active development — no release date yet, and no waiting-list spam. Tell us about your fleet and we'll be in touch the moment we can help you start.
