Dusk OS: A Minimalist OS for the Post-Collapse World
2025-05-13
Dusk OS is a 32-bit Forth-based operating system designed for survival in a post-civilizational collapse scenario. It aggressively prioritizes simplicity, sacrificing some features for extreme efficiency and ease of operation. Using an 'almost C' compiler, Dusk OS easily ports existing UNIX C code and boasts an incredibly small footprint (a complete system is under 6000 lines of code). It's fully self-hosting, runs smoothly on older hardware, and possesses a remarkably high "power density," challenging conventional software culture.
