Banana_OS: A High Quality Operating System Ecosystem.
Dear all,
I'd like to introduce you to an Operating System (OS) project that I've been working on for a while. It's called Banana_OS, (because why not?)
I have made multiple editions and versions that are intended to appeal to different audiences, from a Gaming Edition, to a Server, and everything in between. Here I'll talk a little bit about each one, what it does and what it will do soon.

First of all, there's Banana_OS Classic
It's the original Banana_OS, and has some of the early UI and features I was planning on adding. My attention now has moved on to the Developer and Gamer Editions, but my debut OS is still an interesting concept.

Then there's Banana_OS Gaming Edition BETA
This is where things get interesting. I embedded some games onto the OS, some made by me, others made by other scratchers and added a dark theme, Game Bar and multiple settings. I'd really recommend trying this first if you're a keen gamer!

For those who are interested in tech, there's a Banana_OS Developer Edition
It has all the tools, utilities and logs that you'd want inside a simulator, including realistic software updates, file systems and more!

Furthermore, The Banana_OS Developer Servers bring a cool UI layout and functions, along with my alt account's perfect computer design, Green Banana OS.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you find my OS projects interesting

Banana_OS Developer Edition Just Got a Big Update!
Hi everyone!
I'd like to introduce a new feature added to one of my Banana_OS Editions in the Banana_OS Ecosystem.

I've noticed that I haven't updated Banana_OS Developer Edition in a while (mainly because I was also busy with Banana_OS Retro), but I have just added a new tool that I think is essential to a Developer OS.
It's an app called Disk Setup, where you can check the storage of (emulated) disk view formats, and mount points. I have further ideas with this project such as:
- (emulated) external disks
- Adaptable partition modes
- Multi boot OS (potentially)
Check it out here
If you liked this new feature, please let me know

Thanks,

Information with regards to the Banana_OS Gaming and Developer Editions.
I am considering making a new unified OS that has both aspects of each edition.
It would have a new modern design and more applications.

The Developer OS will continue to be supported for 2-10 more months. The Gaming OS will be supported for a similar amount of time, but it's likely that it will last longer.

There's more info in this project

Banana_OS Retro Just Got a (Simulated) Web Browser!
Yes, indeed it did.
It's called Butterfly HTML Browser, and there are currently 3 pages to view. It emulates what the dial up web looked like in the 1990s, with visible loading times and quirky web layouts.
To get it to run, you first need to install it, through the ‘install HTML…’ icon on the desktop. Then, you'll find it in the banana icon menu.
It took a while for me to make, and I'll add more pages as time goes on.

Here's a link to the project that will take you directly there.

Disclaimer:
This feature has nothing to do with real HTML, it is an emulator and uses localised code.
