Here's the link to the OS the YouTube video is talking about... http://kolibrios.org/en/ It's been around for a very long time and is actually a fork of MenuetOS... http://menuetos.net Both are very impressive feats of assembly language engineering. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
Mandatory mention to KolibriOS[0], an open-source fork of MenuetOS. 0. http://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
> KolibriOS has forked off from MenuetOS in 2004, and is run under independent development since then. All our code is open-source, with the majority of the code released under GPLv2 license. https://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Abundance of resources in average machine is making people quite lazy. Just to shock people I tell them to take a look at KolibriOS. Whole OS, with drivers, sound, graphics, software, compiler, debugger and games fits on CD image 39MB. Smallest bootable system is 1.3MB. My phone makes photos that are bigger than that.

Again, >I'd like to have a grasp of what sort of compatibility this relatively unknown cpu has. I do not plan to run Linux on this. But I might want to run MenuetOS[0], KolibriOS[1], Aros[2], ZealOS[3], to give you some examples. 0. https://www.menuetos.net/ 1. https://kolibrios.org/en/ 2. https://aros.sourceforge.io/ 3. https://zealos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Http://kolibrios.org/en/ is an open-source fork with some activity. Unfortunately, it seems to be graphics-oriented with minimal console support (no piping, etc.). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
There's an operating system named Kolibri which at minimum fits on a Floppy disk and CD image is 39MB big. FOR ENTIRE OS which looks like this and has file manager, browser, compiler, debugger, games. Source: over 1 year ago
Do you have and idea, how to cool use this? http://kolibrios.org/en/. I found it today, looks interested. Maybe for some pranks? Tell me what you think. Source: almost 2 years ago
There's a fork of this as well, though I don't know much about why the fork happened or anything: http://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
KolibriOS, which is a fork of MenuetOS. Source: almost 2 years ago
Not true, Kolibri OS will definitely run on it, and it'll run well..... As will "Tiny Core" linux. :). Source: about 2 years ago
There are some diehards though, that write complex assembly language programs for old architectures that have excellent compiler infrastructure. Check out Kolibri OS that created an entirely new assembly-language infrastructure around the longstanding x86 architecture. Source: over 2 years ago
Not linux but KolibriOS might be worth a look for a very light desktop. Source: over 2 years ago
If you really need the floppy size idea, not Linux, but a fantastic, light and superspeedy project to consider is Kolibri OS. Source: almost 3 years ago
- download Kolibri OS and boot it on that laptop (or try in on virtual box/qemu, whatever). Source: almost 3 years ago
The following might look like dinosaur stuff to you, but you don't know the feeling of seeing Tomstrb booting up, or the sheer joy the moment I learned about and then tried QNX with graphics on a single floppy, let alone Mulinux... Later I discovered Kolibri, that project is still around, and it's not even Linux! Source: almost 3 years ago
