The CollabVM Advent Calendar is an advent calendar belonging to the CollabVM project, which is held every December (not always, however). The advent calendar has been held yearly since 2018, and ongoing. Originally, up until 2021's advent calendar, a new OS (usually an obscure, and interesting one) would get posted every day until the 24th of December. Now it's a Crusty Windows bootleg ever since it launched in late 2021. In fact, the very last entry of the 2021 Advent Calendar was a Crusty Windows bootleg, by the name of Windows 7 Christmas Edition 2015 created by The Rain, which released to TeamOS.

MINIX |
Today's operating system is one most people here probably know already, which is Minix. This OS is a Unix-like microkernel which has a goal of being an extremely stable and self-healing system and its designed to be used with very little human intervention. It was first released in 1987. What you might not know, however, is that this is actually the most installed and widely used operating system in the history of computing - having more installations than Linux, Mac OS, and yes, even Windows. That's because it is built into Intel Management Engine, which comes with all new Intel processors. |

PC-MOS/386 |
Today's operating system is PC-MOS/386. Quite a technical mouthful. This OS is a multi-user multitasking DOS clone released in 1987 and can run many MS-DOS applications. It also allows you to connect to it via terminal if you care about that sort of thing. In 2017, the source code for this OS was released, with a patch that corrected the 'year 2012' problem which stops files made after August 1, 2012 from working. |

EggOS |
Today's operating system is EggOS. yes yes, prepare your spam. This OS is basically a demonstration for using Go as a basis for a unikernel. The entire kernel is one giant Go application running on ring0, and there's no processes or anything like that, though there is a javascript interpreter built in. It also has a few programs, networking, and even an NES emulator! It's pretty fun to toy around with so I recommend giving it a Go (eggs dee!) |
