If you’re no stranger to the world of weird operating systems, you’ve heard of the popular ones like Temple OS, Hannah Montana Linux, Red Star OS, and so on. But what if I told you that was barely scratching the surface of the iceberg?

In this video, I’ll be looking at 6 obscure operating systems of increasing obscurity: ReactOS, Redox OS, helloSystem, Haiku, ToaruOS, and SerenityOS.

  • I have a dated Toshiba Satellite notebook upon which I want to install KolibriOS; kinda surprised it wasn't mentioned here. If you do a follow-up, could you talk about Kolibri?

  • My favorite obscure OS is Mezzano. While it's still in "beta" stage, and not friendly to normal users, I love its premise and design.

  • trying those OSes only in VMs instead on bare metal is lazy and poor methodology, skip

  • it should be noted about ReactOS that when the entire winXP source code was leaked back in 2020, the ReactOS developers not only said they would refuse to use any of that code, but they would ban anyone from contributing to the project who even looked at the code. that's a rare instance of integrity!

  • The only one I'd consider obscure is Toaru OS. They're all interesting and who knows what the future will bring.

  • Toaru – Misaka – Kuroko…
    yeah, definitely not a reference to A Certain Anime/Light Novel Franchise

  • Fun fact, there actually was a kind of beOS follow up OS called Zeta that was developed using basically stolen source code and was sold on german teleshopping channels to unsuspecting computer laymen with WILD claims of performance.

  • How did I not know of this channel before? Great to see Haiku and React getting some love! Keep up the good work, your videos are fantastic!

  • Haiku is the only one out of all these I see being viable once it gets better hardware support on par with Linux, and some web browers actually worth using, till then I'll be keeping a close eye on it, and sticking wiith Manjaro Gnome, and Solus Budgie as my goto OS's outside of Android for phones, & tablets.

  • I fell asleep in the middle of the video, not bc it’s boring, but bc ur voice is too calming 🥲

    Not that it’s a bad thing, but I went honk mimimi bc of it

  • I appreciate this video so much! It's been such a blast exploring computer fun. That's why I made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu earlier this year. My computing experience was lacking excitement, and I'd attempted to switch multiple times before. But this time, I fully committed! No dual booting. Computing has become a joy again! If you're in a rut and love tinkering with computers and operating systems, I highly recommend taking the plunge!

  • Fun fact about react os..
    They not only partially rely on wine… But wine also partially relies on react os

  • I was not ready for the Jacksfilms haiku reference LMAO

  • Linux would never stand by windows and mac -current Linux user (me)

  • Qubes is a really neat metaOS that is based around making it VERY easy to use multiple VMs for security isolation.

  • The most batshit obscure OS has to be Temple OS, if you have never heard of it Temple OS was written by a mentally ill software engineer who said it was divinely inspired.
