Commodore OS Vision is a 64-bit Linux distribution which was originally based on Linux Mint and is now based on Debian. Commodore OS is a retro futuristic “vision” of what Commodore might have produced in an alternate timeline.
Commodore OS was designed as a unique, retro Commodore inspired experience, with a snappy special effects GUI, including software reminiscent of that era, as well as software that showcased the best of the Linux software eco-system.
Commodore OS Vision 3.0 will be the largest, games oriented, Linux distribution ever produced, featuring 200+ free linux compatible games as well as an assortment of classic Commodore games and demos that will undoubtedly scratch your nostalgic itch. Commodore OS Vision 3.0 now features a retro inspired Settings Manager, for configuring ROMS, startup options and much more.
Commodore OS can be updated with C64 and Amiga ROMs to become Commodore compatible, with the ability to run classic 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit era Commodore software via emulation.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
