[pol, fedi meta] I lowkey wish people would stop saying "kill xyz" and using insane hyperboles like calling everything a nazi whenever they disagree with something. you're not going to convince anyone with that violent unhingedness, it's just 4chan-esque brownie points within your own […]

Every month or so we bring you a _Jenny’s Daily Drivers_ article, in which we share with you an esoteric OS and try to use it for the everyday work of a Hackaday scribe. As part of that ongoing effort, the world of esoteric operating systems is always on the radar, even though many of them are unlikely to fulfill the Daily Driver requirement. Even so, sometimes we see an OS that we like, and so it is with [Luke8086]’s GentleOS. It’s an operating system — or to be pedantic — a kernel shell into which applications are compiled, for older 16 and 32-bit x86 computers with a very low hardware requirement. It brings a simplicity to older PCs that we like. Downloading the tiny image and booting it in a virtual machine, it’s almost ridiculously quick to boot on a 2020s computing behemoth with gigabytes of RAM and multiple 64-bit cores. It has a basic but nice and clean GUI, and a selection of basic applications and games. You won’t be using this for productivity work, but that’s hardly the point. It’s particularly pleasing to look at the code and find something simple enough to understand, too. We like it, if you have an older PC it might be worth spinning this one up for a bit of fun.
