| 6.1 || ELKS
|| Today's operating system is the Embeddable Linux Kernel, or "ELKS" as it is commonly known as. You probably used Linux before, but how about Linux on your 8086? Yes, that's right; this OS is a port of Linux to 16-bit! Considering Linux was originally intended from the ground up to run on the 386, this port is extremely impressive, and its honestly one of the most interesting OSes I've ever seen. I highly reocmmend checking it out because its really neat. It also comes with a script to boot it right in QEMU on the Github page.

|-
| 6.2 || Ventoy
|| Today's operating system isn't really an OS, but rather an extremely useful utility called Ventoy. It allows you to boot pretty much any ISO right off of your USB drive. That includes Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc etc. Pretty much everything is supported. Its saved me quite a bit of time and I think most people here will find it very useful.

| 7 || Commodore 64
|| Today's operating system is the Commodore 64... On your x86 PC! Yes, this OS is literally just a Commodore 64 emulator that boots right up just like the real thing. If you have a very specific setup (an IDE ATA drive formatted as FAT32), it can also read and write to drive 8. It's pretty cool to mess around with in a VM but if you're real crazy you can try booting it on your main PC and seeing what happens.

| 9.1 || MichalOS
|| Today's operating system is MichalOS. MichalOS is a fork of MikeOS which adds a lot of really interesting and very unique features, including a password system, a bunch of games, a few programs, and even Mac OS 9-esque menu browser, complete with a desktop wallpaper and screensaver. It's honestly very cool and with a system requirement of 80kb of RAM and a 386 or higher, you're definitely able to run this bad boy anywhere. The ISO will be attached below. [attachment]

| 9.2 || CollapseOS
|| Today's operating system is Collapse OS. Collapse OS is a really weird OS that has all your standard tools; a text editor, a BASIC interpreter, etc. What makes it weird? Its purpose, which is to be ran by scavengers after The End™️, of course! This OS is designed to run on improvised hardware built from junk parts found in the wild, presumably after civilizational collapse. As weird and Fallout-y as that sounds, its actually a really neat project, and hey, who knows, we might not be laughing once we're all using this OS in our post-apocalyptical world.

| 10 || Shrine OS
|| Today's operating system is Shrine OS! Are you a degenerate sinner who worships Satan and wants to go against God's personally chosen operating system? Seek a therapist, or try out Shrine OS, a fork of TempleOS (which I'm sure needs no introduction) that adds several features not found in the original, such as a TCP/IP stack, a custom "Lambda" shell which functions like a classic Unix shell, and even a package manager. It also comes with an interesting clone of wget among a couple other things. It's pretty cool and I recommend trying it out.

| 11 || TRON
|| Today's operating system is TRON, or "The Real-Time Operating system Nucleus" (good acronym). This OS is a Japanese real-time OS that's designed mainly for embedded systems. Though it's virtually unheard of, this OS is similar to MINIX as once being one of the most widely used and installed operating systems, due to its presence on many mobile phones, appliances, and even a few cars, though its been widely phased out. This OS is mostly known by computer historians as it was the subject of intense lobbying by Microsoft, who even managed to get it essentially banned in the US via the Omnibus Foreign Trade and Competitiveness Act. There were a few variants of TRON. Specifically, this version I'll link is a BTRON (Business TRON) distro called Choukanji 5, which was the only one I could find as its extremely hard to find a copy. The download is here: [link] The OS is in Japanese, but there is an English patch floating around. A guide to install this OS in VMware is found here: [link 2] Again the documentation is in Japanese, you'll need to translate it if you can't read it. And an English Language Kit can be downloaded from here: [link 3]

| 12 || 9front
|| Today's operating system is 9front, which is probably more obscure than yesterday's OS. This OS is a fork of the Plan9 operating system, which if you don't know is a pretty legendary research operating system that's meant to be simple and easy to use (for a Unix system). 9front adds a few new features, mainly Wi-Fi support and drivers, USB support, and a built-in emulator. The entire OS website is basically one giant shitpost and they have a directory filled with bizarre images. What's not to love? Plus, their mascot is an ice fairy. How could you possibly hate that? Download it here: [link] And for those who are curious, their image directory is here: [link 2]
