COS has that retro feel - great work!

Just wanted to come by and make a post about CommodoreOS!! Yes, I was turned onto the project JUST NOW from a few Youtube videos that probably have the traffic running here this weekend - so while I don't have a Commodore 64x YET, I donwnloaded the .ISO and spun up a Proxmox VM....
COS is perfectly bloated and I love the beeps and bloops that it sends the users way - it just FEELS like something Commodore would do if it were a computer company in 2024... wait - IT IS! Congrats to the team for securing the license and just wanted to drop a line that eyes are on the project and we love it!!!
I'm gonna whip up a Youtube video on my tiny channel @TechHeart6090... I run 2o fOr beeRS bbS if anyones into dialing in via TELNET - grab a copy of SyncTERM, Netrunner, MuffinTerm or IcyTerm and dial:

20ForBeers.com:1339 (www)
The communities that we build are the best thing - congrats to MyRetroComputer.com!! Hey - one thing I noticed you missed was including the AmigaFonts... they can be found https://github.com/rewtnull/amigafonts and can be installed in /usr/share/fonts/WHEREVER - they just run 'fs-cache' to update Linux...
Last question - are more updates planned for CommodoreOS? I notice a few GPG keys are bad (TOR, some others) and most users won't easily iron that out... sure, most of us are probably Linux people so no BIGGY, but I'd be willing to help, or wait for, updates in the future.
W00h00!!!
