Is there any modern day text based operating systems

If so what are the best ones
>>
>>58712785
You could just load up any GNU/Linux distribution and work from the terminal. I don't understand the question.
>>
install gentoo
>>
Freedos
>>
>>58712785
Linux is the main thing actually used as such an OS, and the only thing I personally would recommend.

People even make flurries of virtual machines and containerized linuxes all over the clouds.

Linux, *BSD, etc.

Linux though I can't imagine why you'd want to use just the terminal.

Yes it's called init 1.
>>
>>58712785
You can just do like >>58712838 said and use a TTY
alternatively, there's also the BSDs, other unices like solaris, hurd, and >>58712895

basically every *nix OS that can be installed without a GUI

FreeDOS
>>
>>58713060
DOS derivatives are still plenty shit, even if they are better than what you worked with back then.

Just go with Linux or, if you must, at least BSD. Pretty much no point doing anything else if you want "modern" and "best".
>>
>>58713038

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as init, is in fact, systemd/init, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus init. init is not a startup daemon unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd boot manager, QR code generator and vital system components comprising a full startup daemon as defined by Lennart Poettering.

You're missing the point. I mean an OS written in in a language with out words. Not a single word appearing anywhere in the OS's daily use, or even in it's code. Everything is graphical. Renaming a file would require drawing a picture for instance. Is it even possible?

FreeDOS, or nearly any GNU/Linux or BSD distro without a GUI. You can also start Mac OS X in single user mode by holding Command + Shift + S on boot. Not sure why you'd want to do this though, as it's a pain in the ass and a GUI makes like better. Time for new hardware?

I never said otherwise. Also, 10.12+ is macOS, not Mac OS, which seems to be the source of your confusion.

I'm not falling back from any argument, you dumb nigger. If I meant OS X I would have typed OS X. I typed Mac OS because that is what Mac OS(pre-X) is called. It is not my fault in the slightest that that dipshit can't tell the difference between Mac OS (the name for Apple's old non-UNIX OS) and macOS (Apple's new retarded name for OS X). I use OS X daily and its terminal emulator just as often, I'm quite aware of its presence in the OS.
>>
>>58717607
Arguably, "Mac OS" could refer to any of Apple's desktop operating systems, however "MacOS" (as in one word) is the rebranded name for what was until recently referred to as "Mac OS X" (or simply "OS X").

>>58719066

[TRIGGERED]

>>58719227
>Of course, Linux is a fork of Minix.
Nope, and Linus and Tanenbaum have clashed many times over operating system design. Really the only connection is that Minix was the main unofficial Unix-like OS when Linux got started, and Linus originally marketed his kernel to the Minix group. They may have borrowed some ideas from each other, but they're two completely distinct operating systems. The original Linux kernel was pretty much developed from scratch, any Minix-inspired features were only brought in later on.

>>58719293
BIOS is 16 bit, does that mean it's non-modern? And kind of the whole point of DOS is that it has EXTREMELY minimal system requirements, some of the areas where it's still being used for example are old process control systems running on literal 286s. To be a valid replacement for proprietary DOSes, it should be able to run on anything in the x86 family, at least theoretically. But that's just the bootloader and file system, a lot of applications are 32-bit or maybe even 64-bit (though it's questionable what benefit there is of using 64-bit pointers on something with the DOS memory model).

>>58719476
That's presumably from the 286 addressing mode, which uses 24-bit addresses. 2^24 / (1024^2) = 16 MB

>>58719574
That would be 64KB, not MB. I think many versions of DOS limit the PER-PROCESS memory to that much, because of silly intel addressing modes. But the total can be much more.

>>58720383
So is OS X BSD or XNU?
>>
>>58722471
Uh, isn't Siri/Cortana just a voice interface? So it's basically a shell, not a full OS. It's like saying bash or CMD.EXE or FLTK is an OS. iOS is a full OS because it includes a kernel, file system, drivers, program loader and so on.

I am a proud user of GNU/Linux and can tell you really don't need to use a GUI if you don't want to. My favorite tools are ranger for file manager, transmission--daemon/transmission-remote-cli for torrents, kpcli for password manager, and vim for text editor. You can use GNU screen as window manager, that coupled with a web browser like links/lynx or, even better, NetSurf with the framebuffer, is all you need.

The alternative is pic related, FreeDOS is my second favorite OS.

>Linux is a fork of Minix.
Linux is a completely distinct OS. It wasn't built using any source code it only used concepts that Linus learned through studying the MINIX kernel and reading the textbooks. Linus did initially use Minix as a development environment to put together the first versions of the Linux kernel but after the GNU userland was ported over Linus completely switched to GNU+Linux and there hasn't been any direct relationship between the two OSes since.
