Red Star OS – a North Korean Linux based operating system, developed at the Korea Computer Center (KCC).
The Korea Computer Center (KCC), the leading IT R& D base of the DPRK, was founded on October 24, 1990 under the careful guidance of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il. It develops and supplies software and hardware products for various fields such as operating system, computer network, control & signal processing, biosignal processing and information security, and supports software development for important national projects.
Red Star 3.0 uses KDE 3 desktop environment, which was customized to look like Mac OSX desktop.
It features modified Mozilla Firefox browser called Naenara, to browse internet network known as Kwangmyong, and other apps such as: text editor, an e-mail client, audio and video players, games, and Wine which allows Windows programs to be run under Linux.

YES IT IS NOW TIP YOUR FEDORA HAT NOW
1.0?
Sorry, I don’t have it.
the hacker who did it only got the 3.0 props on him tho it was originally from reddit
dont lie or be lazy 1.0 exists
Since you appear to be from the KCC, release it. The DPRK is one of the more isolated countries, so getting stuff from it, especially stuff that is discontinued is hard.
the hacker was slipstream also hacking nintendo an microsoft and v-tech

Just wanted to report
Fixed iso download, thank’s a lot.
How should I set this up in a vm?
nvm I got it sorted
What are the minimum requirements?
i don’t want to download install the redstar os at all!
then don’t
How do you change the language in Redstar OS?
you don’t.
you can’t and perhaps you shouldn’t…
Use some Linux commands to convert the language into English or Chinese (but there are many places where there is no full translation.)
put: sed -i ‘s/ko_KP/en_US/g’ /etc/systemconfig/i10n /usr/share/config/kdeglobals
in terminal and after write reboot and press enter
(i know im late but i wanted to help anyway)
no puedes cambiar el idioma al estar echo solo para norcorea (imagino)
Si se puede
Is this safe to install and not get hacked by the North Korean government?
you should be fine as long as you are on a vm with the network adapter OFF
No. If you put some files into Red Star OS, some files will have an extra SHA256 of 31 bytes. This data is enough to store all the important data of your computer, such as timestamps, MAC host addresses, etc. So don’t install Red Star OS on your computer if you don’t have a special need to it (unless you’re using a virtual machine.)
How do I set it up in my QEMU VM?
I’d recommend using Virtualbox as it’s easier.
any idea on how to set this guy up on UTM?
whats the difference between version 2.0 and 3.0?
windows and mac os
What, seriously?
They made ripoff versions of M$W and MacOS?
This OS is the greatest OS in the world. Thank you DPRK for creating this.
Indeed Comrade, this is Juche for computers.
It has a ‘Communist look, revolutionary work methods and people-oriented work style’, in accordance with article seven of the ‘Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System’, perfectly manifest as a monolithic operating system.
It is the natural progression for Linux ideology as a free and open source OS, unhindered by the chains of oppressive capitalism and the greed of its bourgeois running dogs.
is it ok to use a vpn to still stay conected to wifi
I wouldn’t
4.0?
There isn’t much known about it, and it’s expected to stay that way for some time
nokorea? are you fkn kidding me? the reason they call it a hernit Nation is because they have nothing! how the hell did they hear about Linux?
Only capitalist bourgeois running dogs who are enslaved by the chains of proprietary operating systems do not know Linux!
4.0 leaked
