First week with COS 3.0

So I've been enjoying COS 3.0 for a week. Here's what I've done with it. First, I installed this on my daily driver Dell Latitude E6510. Everything works great -- sound, wifi, suspend, Nvidia graphics, and the docking station. I had to clean up some of the free Linux games unfortunately to make room...

Re: no sound from COS 3

Hey technotron, what output device do you have in your sound preferences? When I right-click on the speaker on the top panel I have a choice to open the preferences dialog. In there I can see all my sound hardware devices and pick where my sound output goes.

Re: New user accounts

Thank you for the tips! I'm pretty comfortable with Linux and the command line in general. I figured if my user is in the same groups as the Commoodore user, and the sudoers file acts on group permissions, then I'd be all set. But copying in the demos makes sense, I wouldn't want to miss out on thos...

New user accounts

Greetings! Let me start by saying that Leo's done an incredible job. The effects, the music, the TTS, and the system config menu in CoolRetroTerm -- they're all amazing. This desktop is hugely fun to use and I look forward to exploring it more. One thing I can't figure out how to do is make a user a...

Re: Any Word On Release Date Of Commodore OS 3.0? And Other Questions.

Leo, I think BASIC is the primo lingua franca for Commodore OS. The first programming I ever did was TI-BASIC on my TI-84. I didn't like math class so I spent much of my time making games and figuring out loops, logic, variables, input, etc. I had a lot of fun drawing mazes. In college I really enjo...

Re: Any Word On Release Date Of Commodore OS 3.0? And Other Questions.

Hey Leo, thank you so much for continuing this project. I was a huge fan of the Commodore OS Vision 1.0 Beta 9 from way back in 2012-2013 (still have my burned DVDs!). I was in high school at the time. Couldn't afford a C64x but was still interested in all things Commodore. COS on my HP laptop was m...
