In this video I tried out KolibriOS, an operating system that is so small it can fit on a single 1.44mb floppy disk!FOLLOW ME ELSEWHERE----------------------...

      The term of a US president in the early 1980s.

          should we use world presidents instead?

            How about using years? “This OS runs on 80s hardware” is still impressive, understandable, and wrong.

              nah, let’s use average lobster life since epoch. That would date ~0.5 lobster lives which is easy to read and understandable by everyone

    I mean, LOAF was a thing (Linux on a Floppy) that had basic functionality even as most distros were downloaded or on CD. I can’t imagine anyone still develops it, though.

    For anybody else curious, he’s using KalibriOS.

    It’s an open source, ultra-lightweight os that is not a fork of Linux… I think.

    Neat project though!

      Yeah it’s not Linux. It’s forked off MenuetOS (https://menuetos.net/ ) which is a hobby OS written entirely in assembly (FASM flavor, https://flatassembler.net/ ).
