Satire Fork -A Linux system built by Lunduke, for Lunduke. -![](screenshots/lcos-01-shot2.png) -The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) adheres to a core set of ideas: - -- No Age or ID Verification. -- No Online Accounts Needed. -- No AI. -- No Weird Politics. -- No Systemd. -- No Forced Rust Clones. -- Modern Tech. 90s UI. - -LCOS is built on top of Devuan (a high quality fork of Debian, which removes Systemd), and includes carefully selected software to adhere to those core ideals (including the stripped-down Brave Origin as the default web browser). - -## The Lunduke Computer Operating System is a Monarchy. - -LCOS is not a community project. The King has total control, both technologically and organizationally. This prevents Political Activists from seizing control, as has happened with so many other Open Source projects and organizations. - -## Upstream First - -LCOS tries to avoid LCOS-only code changes whenever possible, perfering to ship "vanilla" versions of upstream projects. When changes or fixes are required for LCOS, in upstream projects, the preference is to hire developers of that upstream project to implement those changes in upstream itself. That way everyone can benefit from the work being done while, simultaneously, supporting the work of engineeers who make all of this possible. - -As such, source code deviations, from upstream projects, is kept to an absolute minimum in LCOS. All modified source code, primarily in the form of [LCOS-specific packages](https://github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS-Branding), are published and made available. - -## Early Development - -LCOS is in early development. Expect bugs. - -[The Lunduke Journal Forum](https://forum.lunduke.com/) is the exclusive place to ask questions, provide suggestions, report issues, or talk with other LCOS users. To keep trolls away, [this forum](https://forum.lunduke.com/) is only available to [Lunduke Journal subscribers](https://lunduke.com/). - -## Screenshots - -![](screenshots/lcos-01-shot3.png) - -![](screenshots/lcos-01-shot1.png) - -![](screenshots/lcos-01-shot4.png) +Real Fork >> BryanLunduke/LCOS We need to heavily mock these. +https://github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS/issues +https://github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS/pulls This is a total joke.

-Satire Fork Designed to Visualize What LCOS Could Actually Look Like via Github Pages. 
+# LCOS β€” The Operating System We Absolutely Did Not Build
 
-Real Fork >> BryanLunduke/LCOS We need to heavily mock these. 
-https://github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS/issues 
-https://github.com/BryanLunduke/LCOS/pulls This is a total joke. We are not building a distro. We are just imagining. Search up on Brian Lunduke and his humor to make it funnier.
+> **Satire fork / browser visualization. This is not a Linux distribution. There is no ISO. Please do not flash `index.html` to a USB stick.**
+
+This fork turns the idea of **The Lunduke Computer Operating System** into an interactive GitHub Pages desktop: part mock operating system, part Linux-community archaeology, part extremely unnecessary package-manager UI.
+
+## Live site
+
+**https://qsolkcb.github.io/LCOS/**
+
+If GitHub Pages has just been enabled, allow GitHub to publish the latest branch before assuming the kernel has panicked.
+
+## What is here
+
+- A ceremonial fake boot sequence with a `vibes-6.9.420-lcos` kernel.
+- **LCDE**, the Lunduke Computer Desktop Environment, implemented as plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
+- Draggable, minimizable and maximizable desktop windows.
+- A fake terminal with commands including `neofetch`, `uname -a`, `apt update`, `systemctl`, `x11`, `wayland`, and `ethics`.
+- A package manager whose native package format is naturally `.debate`.
+- An Issue Control Center for visualizing the traditional Linux development process: three lines of code and forty-seven opinions.
+- An Ethics Daemon based on the repository's existing `CodeOfEthics.md` rules.
+- A screenshot gallery preserving the existing LCOS images in `screenshots/`.
+- No frameworks, build step, package registry, analytics, telemetry, cookies, installers, kernels, init systems, or legitimate reasons for this to be as elaborate as it is.
+
+## Run locally
+
+Because the site is static, either open `index.html` directly or serve the directory:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m http.server 8000
+```
+
+Then visit `http://localhost:8000`.
+
+## Upstream
+
+The actual project this satire fork descends from is:

-This fork turns the idea of **The Lunduke Computer Operating System** into an interactive GitHub Pages desktop: part mock operating system, part Linux-community archaeology, part extremely unnecessary package-manager UI.
+LCOS is an interactive GitHub Pages mock desktop imagining what the Lunduke Computer Operating System could look like if a README, some screenshots, Linux discourse, and far too much confidence achieved sentience.

-## What is here
-
-- A ceremonial fake boot sequence with a `vibes-6.9.420-lcos` kernel.
-- **LCDE**, the Lunduke Computer Desktop Environment, implemented as plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
-- Draggable, minimizable and maximizable desktop windows.
-- A fake terminal with commands including `neofetch`, `uname -a`, `apt update`, `systemctl`, `x11`, `wayland`, and `ethics`.
-- A package manager whose native package format is naturally `.debate`.
-- An Issue Control Center for visualizing the traditional Linux development process: three lines of code and forty-seven opinions.
-- An Ethics Daemon based on the repository's existing `CodeOfEthics.md` rules.
-- A screenshot gallery preserving the existing LCOS images in `screenshots/`.
-- No frameworks, build step, package registry, analytics, telemetry, cookies, installers, kernels, init systems, or legitimate reasons for this to be as elaborate as it is.
