Greetings from KolibriOS developer and main designer, and thanks for the review! Hardware support is on the wiki. Some apps like video-player and DosBox are available only in full images suitable for USB / ISO / HDD.

Astolfo figure on the desk. Bro is a real IT specialist
-
I'm one of the designers of MenuetOS (I wrote the TCP/IP stack in assembler for it years ago.) Feel free to reach out for more info.
-
That is freaking impressive. Shows us how unoptimized modern software is.

Back in around 1999, I made a single-floppy Linux OS for a client. He wanted a firewall that couldn't be permanently altered by an attacker. So the LILO boot loader, the Linux kernel, and an init script that set up firewall rules was put on a single 1.44MB floppy disk that was then write-protected. It did work, but I felt it was more a silly proof-of-concept than something all that useful. EDIT: But this one looks WAY cooler.
-
I'm pretty sure KolibriOS was designed to be an experiment on how much functionality you can fit into a 3.5" floppy disk, hence why there's 3 of everything and more games than an old Nokia. Edit: As others have pointed out, this was a fork of said project (MenuetOS). How has YT taught me more about computers than any of my teachers did?

2:28 It's amazing, I didn't expect to see a graphical interface in such a compact Operating System
-
Would be good to see a series on all the extremely lightweight OSs out there
-
The eventual update to 1.45MBs is going to fracture the community.
-
This looks great for an OS that only requires 1.44 MB. I'm definitely trying it myself.
-
Can it run Doom?
-
I remember QNX in the late 1990s. It was a "real time OS" planned for embedded devices, but the demo floppy had mouse use, browser, and a couple of games. Very cool.
-
the Astolfo figure lol
-
It is crazy. it looks like it has a bunch of bloatware in the form of 3 of everything, but it obviously doesn't, and is very compressed. It probobly is entirely crafted for super-compression in the form of using raw assembly to build itself. That had to have taken a while.

You are the guy who randomly have a conversation about operating systems in that Microsoft survey.
-
most people be using discord in 2024 mate you're using discord in 1994
-
The astolfo figurine makes this video 1000x better
-
For audio, try the Sound Blaster 16 soundcard. I took a quick look at the source code, and it includes support for SB16 and Intel HDA, so this soundcard should work.
-
The Amiga OS, Workbench, used half of 1.44 MBs and it was multitasking...
