Commodore OS Vision Forum

As a general rule of thumb without going into hardware specifics, do you think a laptop that originally came with Windows 8 will be able to run COS 3.0? I've also got a much older one that came with Vista. Do you think it could run either COS V1 or 2? I'm planning to set both these up with partition...

Sounds great, and thanks for all the hard work you've put into it. Yes, I have seen the Retro Recipes video. It's what sparked my interest in the OS. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can get it running on a handful of older computers and laptops, since I'm both a Commodore fan, a Linux fan, and a ...

Just wondering if you have a general idea on when Commodore OS 3.0 might be released? Also, how useful would this variant of Linux be as a general daily driver OS for most people? Things like web surfing, watching videos, downloading software, word processing or productivity software, file managemen...

Yes, I can totally understand wanting to keep the OS as a Commodore styled retro themed desktop with all the retro emulation, gaming, or using retro or modern apps and general purpose present day activities nicely blended and done from it, and not just be a gateway to booting a modern front end for ...

That's great to hear, that the newly released update of Commodore OS is going to receive yet another update soon. Another question: Can you launch something like Batocera or any other popular retro gaming front ends from the COS desktop, or is this something better done by just installing both on se...

After you've used a USB to boot and install Commodore OS onto a computer's hard drive or SSD, is there a function you can run from the Commodore OS or terminal to check that the install is entirely installed correctly for the given hardware and that all is functioning properly? I ran into several hi...

Thanks for the info. I'll just use the USB to install it directly on the computer I intend to use commodore OS on to be safe. That computer (laptop) I've got taken apart at the moment updating some stuff, which is why I was going to use another computer to create the SSD until I put this thing back ...

Probably a dumb question I'm sure, but after creating a USB boot image to boot from and install the OS, do you have to boot this USB on the actual computer you intend to install it on? I'd rather boot the USB on a different computer and then have it install the OS onto a SSD I intend to then later i...

So you're saying the direct download link works now?! Great, will check into it tomorrow. Thx

The Commodore retro community is all the rage about this updated version, which is great. But yet nobody has posted a working direct download link. I'm sure many who know how to use teronents are fine with downloading it as that's the only currently available option, but you got to remember most peo...
