Greentea OS – an open-source, free operating system based on open source code. The main idea of the project is to create a compatible environment for the existing software as fast and as qualitatively as possible and provide the user with the best experience with a personal computer.
Greentea OS does not limit itself just to running “.exe” files. Overall compatibility goals are:
– GUI and console .exe apps
– NT drivers (in the sandboxes/virtualized environments)
– Linux ELF executables (in a Docker-like environments)
– Android .apk apps
– Framework for other platforms emulation
GreenteaOS (Tofita) system requirements:
– 64-bit UEFI
– Very low on resources, just 2 GB RAM minimum required
– Motherboard with SATA (AHCI) or NVMe, PCIe and USB 2.0+
– Multicore modern 64-bit CPU (most AMD and Intel CPUs from Q3 2011 and newer)
Greentea OS itself is being mostly a GPL project.
I know I’m an idiot but where is the download. Unless downloading little bits and pieces is it. I have better things to do.
I concur, and no, you’re not an idiot.
The options seem to be either to somehow install the Teapot build environment and build the ‘engine’ out of bits and pieces, or, get the prebuilt Tofita ‘engine’, but that has no download candidate.
All there seems to be is various applications written in ‘Hexa’, a new to me programming language that compiles to javaScript.
It looks to me to be nothing more than either a sand-boxed desktop gui application that contains various programmes, or, some kind of kernel-less ‘atomic’ OS that is not really anything more than a web application.
I cannot make any more sense of it than that, because the information is too vague.
It looks pretty, though.
