What the point of making an "experimental" MenuetOS closed source? Especially when KolibriOS exists as an Open Source fork.

#TIL: There is a complete OS, written mostly in #Assembler which is just 1.44MB in size. It, for real, fits into a 3.5" floppy disk. The OS is called #KolibriOS.
Operační systém s grafickým rozhraním který se celý vejde na jednu DISKETU? Ano existuje! Neuvěřitelné myslím že i DOS byl na více disketách.
Naposledy jsem viděl jednodisketový disketový operační systém na webu hysteria.sk ale ten jejich neměl rozhodně grafické prostředí.

The more servile, extortionist, and enshittified Windows becomes, the more I love coming home (or to work!) to a nice #Linux desktop.
The more petty and mercenary #Apple becomes ($999 monitor stand!!!!), the more I love mining ebay for $150 machines that become viable daily drivers.
It's a good life.

GOTTA find some way of disenshittifying the web, y'all.
P.S., When I say "Linux," I do so inclusive of all other FOSS OSes. #RunBSD? Of course I do! Do you like #Haiku? Haiku is cool! Do you run #FreeDOS? Rock on with yo bad self! #KolibriOS? Why not?!? #9Port? Uhhh.... *backs away slowly* ;)
Did you know there's an OS that requires 1.44 MB of space?
That's right! You can even install it on small chips.
Meet KolibriOS, packed with tools like text editors, networking, small games, and a browser - all installed by default!
Super-Lightweight Operating System boots off a 1.44MB Floppy Disk. 💾
[KolibriOS lets you do simple tasks and even play games on your legacy PC.]
While most operating systems are written in C and C++, KolibriOS is written in pure x86 assembly and as a result small and lightweight enough to run off a standard 1.44 MB floppy disk.
