There's KolibriOS. It's what happens when you write everything in optimized assembly. You can fit enough of the OS on a single floppy disk to boot to a usable graphical desktop.

Eh, it could be worse. There are still alternatives in the desktop and laptop space, even if they are not that usable. Meanwhile, the tablet and phone markets are pretty much a duopoly.

Illumos if that's still active.

According to the Vibe coders, you can just make your own OS in a weekend, but one should not believe their lies.

both linux and BSDs are still a joke of cosmic proportion when it comes to desktops. Windows and Mac are the only real choices for valid, employed members of the society.

I’m not a zoomtard so I remember when we had Solaris, Os/2, AmigaOS/WorkBench, GEM OS, Tandy DeskMate, hundreds of flavors/variations of DOS including MS-DOS. There are probably more that I’ve forgotten, honestly. I don’t even remember the Brit stuff from ACORN

Microware OS-9 still exists. There are even editions for ARM.

Do it like me. Spend most of your time on a Windows 98 VM. Only do the bare minimum with the host OS, like shitposting on 4chan.
