@alderwick It's been much easier than I expected to put together, I love being able to go in an out of applications without leaving the comfort of uxn : >

@neauoire

For the next week are you planning to sail to Redmond, WA, and to buy Microsoft?

@neauoire all the critical features seem to be in place: the ability to make aesthetic screenshots of your desktop applications 😂

@dualhammers somehow I feel like showcasing how you can RENAME A FILE, might have been a bit underselling the thing 😂

Odo Klave

@neauoire My brain is totally poisoned by a capitalist-minded practicality. It asks "what happens if someone doesn't understand this OS and makes their own, is that a useful outcome of its existence?"

Or "what's this going to do compared to linux?"

But I realize that such questions being my first response are the reason I couldn't fathom building one in the first place

@dualhammers

I just to up my salesmanship so I can pitch to your demographics.

Oye Oye this can crunch 1000x more spreadsheets than your typical microwave!

@dualhammers This OS comes bundled with TWO WHOLE colors more than Citizen Cain! It can be used with not only 1, nor two, but 3 buttons mouses!

@neauoire You only need to know ONE variant of assembly to create programs for it! So easy!

@dualhammers Forget about the subpar infix notation of old! This is the postfix future!

@neauoire @dualhammers Attention investors: Something this simple and minimal has infinite potential for growth!

@neauoire I wish I had the focus to do cool stuff like that. Another buddy of mine started doing OS work too:

@neauoire I especially love "the controls are aimed at d-pad centric" … maybe until my Playdate ships varvara can get crank input :thinking:

Devil Lu Linvega

@alinanorakari the playdate port sends the crank rotation to Mouse/wheel, so like, that will scroll Left up and down.

@neauoire Oh sweet. You and all the contributers are doing such good work, I'm glad uxn + varvara exists as an idea and now potato. May it spread and may it inspire others to run with the idea

Devil Lu Linvega

@alinanorakari I hope I can inspire 3-4 people to spare a weekend and build an OS of their own too :)

@neauoire
a beet and a potato are ingredient for:
[1] a pureed soup
[2] an operating system

@neauoire been amazing to watch uxn grow this whole time! Looks incredible

@neauoire Only 10 KB?! My my! This thing could run on a potato!! 🥔

@narF @neauoire

This could run on so many computers with ease, including most DOS computers lol.

if its a virtual machine, though, or offline, no problemo!

@neauoire
The desktop itself is the file manager?!

That's completely novel! How cool!!

Love the hat tip to Classic MacOS: "You can set any desktop pattern you like, but you might not *want* to" 😆
