Looking for an OS to run in virtualbox, needs to be lightweight to enable running several instances for connecting to individual irc servers or such like for reasons. Thanks in advance

>>61662269
OP here. Just use something like Lubuntu or Debian with some kind of lightweight WM.

>>61662321
Thanks I was thinking this would be the way to go

>>61661736
Do you just want to try them all so that you can say you've tried them?
Have you ever done anything with one of them besides booting it up?

I just want to explore them and see what each one looks like and just poke around a little. My favorites have been Haiku, Blue Lion, and RISC OS. I use Fedora 25 with XFCE and Mac OS X Sierra as my main desktop operating systems.

Maybe later. I've really come to hate source based systems after installing Gentoo. I'm autistic but not that autistic.

>>61662658
Okay. sounds good.
Here are some that haven't been mentioned yet
http://harvey-os.org/
Harvey OS, which is trying to be a modern distributed operating system inspired by plan9
http://programatica.cs.pdx.edu/House/
House OS, an operating system written in Haskell. I've never tried it myself, so I'm not sure if it even runs.
https://www.redox-os.org/
Redox OS, an operating system written in Rust which is actually still in development. People are actually trying to get it to a state where it's a usable system.

What software did you use for emulation?
How do you get the OS images?
Are they free?
How many images can you swap between at a time?
Is there an overhead whilst you install the image?
How long does it take to try a new OS in a virtual environment?

>>61663111
>What software did you use for emulation?
QEMU with AQEMU as the GUI.
>How do you get the OS images?
I download them from different websites. I just search for what I want and eventually I find it.
>Are they free?
Most of them are. I paid for Blue Lion ($99) and eComStation ($145).
>How many images can you swap between at a time?
What do you mean? I can make as many VMs as my hardware allows, which is maybe 15 Ubuntu VMs if I give them 1GB of RAM and 1 core each. I only run them one or two at a time though.
>Is there an overhead whilst you install the image?
I don't know what this means? I have a pretty powerful desktop so storage, RAM, and CPU are never maxed out.
>How long does it take to try a new OS in a virtual environment?
Like two minutes to get it set up, and then however long I feel like playing around with it.

Try elementary Os, imo, most comfy, rest are memes

>>61662269
Tinycorelinux.

try plan 9, then plan b, then inferno.

I did and I wasn't really impressed. It's not terrible but there's nothing that it offers that I really want.

>>61663339
I've tried all kinds of Plan9 forks. They're pretty much all the same except for Inferno which was kinda boring. In all honesty I don't really like Plan9.

>>61663312
Thanks anon this looks even better

There's one I've seen on 4chan before that I think is called SweetOS. There are a few webms of it floating around, but I guess I didn't save them.

Anyway, there were animated graphics of a cartoonish dog and some other stuff on the desktop that were just really unsettling.

If you google it, probably add -cheetos because there's a similarly named flavor of cheetos.

thank you for your informative post

>>61662679
This, I have it on my laptop

There's a japanese OS they use on a bunch of embedded stuff, has a GUI too, can't remember the name though

>>61665628
TRON/ITRON?

>>61665615

Devuan netinstall, use irssi to work from tty if you can do without xorg or install vtwm

>>61665656
Yeah, is great

By the way OP, try FreeVMS and FreeDOS, I can't imagine anything more different

Has anyone managed to get hold of INTEGRITY, specifically INTEGRITY-178B by Green Hills Software?
I hear it's the highest classification in secure/realtime operating systems and is used on at least a few "weapons platforms."

>>61668299
Does it do anything beyond point and shoot? Don't sound too useful.

>>61669674
That's amazing, is there an ISO available anywhere?

>>61669730
I haven't tried this yet, but first you will need an FM Towns emulator (Unz) and then you'll need to get Town OS (second link, I think)

>>61661944
how's qubes? been looking at trying it the past week or so but haven't really done it yet

>>61662269
>for reasons
what the fuck kind of reasons? are you just going to chat with yourself on irc across multiple vm's to pretend you have friends?

also >>61661736 this seems obvious, but have you done ms-dos yet? only mentioning it because it seems like you're going for every os under the sun

try to get your hands on Red Star OS (aka, 붉은별 사용자용체계)
may be a meme or a virus, but could be fun

>>61670042
Also one of the best DEs

Take a look at Pharo. A tiny Smalltalk-based OS with its own VM.

It also has a GUI (completely written in the Pharo language and completely customizable on-the-fly).

>>61670042
Red Star is a real OS. Seems to be quite decent as well, with implemented tracking functions.
Seems cool.

PHANTOM OS - totally object oriented OS. In linux, everything is a file, in Phantom OS, everything is an object. Available in english ports

Conehead OS

It's similar to TempleOS in that it was created by a mentally ill man using a programming language that was created specifically for the OS.
Here's an archive of the last /g/ thread about it.
https://rbt.asia/g/thread/59945016

The guy's website seems to be down again, but it'll probably come back up within a week or two.

>>61661736
MS Xenix
ForthOS
Coherent
AUX
System V release 4 Version 2 for PCs
Genera

Also X68K HumanOS with SX-WINDOW.

Also you could try BSD/OS.

there are many dumb pepes in this thread

OP here. I'm now interested in this because I can't find a download for it anywhere. I've checked several public trackers and searched Google and Startpage for it. I also asked some people on IRC and they couldn't link me to anything. In fact, I can't find much of anything relevant outside of the company website and a Wikipedia page. Looks like software for airplanes.

>>61669674
I found this neat but frustrating because I don't speak Japanese.

>>61669839
Yes, I've tried MS-DOS. I play games in DOSBox all the time.

>>61670322

Longene, an operating system kernel intended to be binary compatible with application software and device drivers made for Microsoft Windows and Linux. In order to accomplish this, key features of the Windows kernel are ported to the Linux kernel.

LUnix, short for "Little Unix", is a Unix-like operating system designed to run natively on the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128[2] home computer systems. It supports TCP/IP networking (SLIP or PPP using an RS232 interface). Unlike most Unix-like systems, LUnix is written in 6502 assembly language instead of C.

JNode is a simple to use & install Java operating system for personal use.

>>61676488
Thanks. I'll try out Longene. I'd like to try out LUnix but I don't have a Commadore machine, so I'll try a few emulators.

>>61672453
Reminds me of Lovebug/Loveshack. Now THAT was interesting.

>>61677014
Conehead is actually just the newest version of Loveshack.

>>61671747
>all those useless systems

For what fucking purpose?

I don't seem GEM in there (old PC and also on Atari). Would that count as interesting for you?

>>61668299
I have seen it, but do not have a copy. INTEGRITY-178B is only one tiny part of a baseline embedded system. On its own, less functional than even most of the toy things here. Used by NSA's "Data Diode", contracted via BAE (the firewall boxes which separate the NSA secure networks from the internet) and some older realtime aerospace control systems, but not the newer stuff.

It's pretty uninteresting. Maybe look at seL4 instead.
