Kutulutsidwa koyamba kwa GentleOS, makina ogwiritsira ntchito makompyuta akale a 32-bit ndi ma laputopu, kwasindikizidwa. Yopangidwa ndi munthu wokonda zosangalatsa, polojekitiyi ikufuna kupereka nsanja yosavuta kwa okonda zakale ndi mawonekedwe akale ojambula. Imathandizira makompyuta okhala ndi i386 CPU, 4 MB ya RAM, ndi khadi la zithunzi la VGA lokhala ndi resolution ya 640x480. Khodi ya polojekitiyi yalembedwa mu C ndipo imagawidwa pansi pa layisensi ya GPLv2. Chithunzi cha disk cha 8 MB ndi chithunzi cha disk ya floppy ya 1.4 MB zapangidwa kuti ziyambe kugwiritsidwa ntchito.
OS imamangidwa pa kapangidwe ka monolithic ndipo imakonzedwa panthawi yomanga. Madalaivala amapezeka pa makadi a kanema a VGA/SVGA, kiyibodi, mbewa (PS/2 ndi ma serial ports), ndi sipika yomangidwa mkati. Ntchito ya GentleOS imaonedwa kuti ndi yokwanira; mapulani amtsogolo akuphatikizapo kupanga mapulogalamu ena, kukonza bwino, ndi kukonza zolakwika. Itha kugwira ntchito mu QEMU komanso pa hardware yeniyeni.
Mapulogalamu omwe alipo akuphatikizapo chowerengera, kalendala, wotchi, jenereta ya mawu, chosinthira zithunzi chosavuta, ndi masewera angapo monga njoka, mahjong, mgodi, ndi Tetris.
Mtundu wina wa GentleOS/16 ukupangidwa, womwe umathandizira makina a 16-bit okhala ndi Intel 80186 CPU. Mtundu uwu wapangidwa kuti uzigwira ntchito kuchokera ku ma floppy disks a 720 KB ndi 1.4 MB. Umathandizanso ma PC okhala ndi 192 KB ya RAM ndi adaputala ya zithunzi ya CGA (320x200x4).
