PsychOS: A Crazy Cool Distro That Pushes Linux Limits (TechNewsWorld)

([Distributions] Jun 13, 2020 1:09 UTC (Sat) (jake))


Over at TechNewsWorld, Jack M. Germain [1]reviews the rather ... different ... distribution, [2]PsychOS Linux . Just taking a peek at the home page may be enough to cause flashbacks to a misspent youth, or perhaps that of one's parents at this point. Bucking the trend for modern distributions, PyschOS is only built for 32-bit systems; the main focus seems to be DOS-oriented: " Retro comes alive in PsychOS and is the main driving point in its development. The distro creator still uses DOS software, which is launched easily from the applications menu via emulators such as DOSBox. Anyone with PsychOS 3.4.6 and higher who uses [3]RetroGrab to install older software can do the same, noted the developer. The corresponding emulators must be installed first. PsychOS lets you run more than one DOS program at a time, too. Other programming influences include BASIC and BBC BASIC, due to shortcomings that helped the PsychOS developer learn more about Python. Other BASIC flavors are FreeBASIC, QB45, and QB64. "

Humorix Holiday Gift Idea #6

Hearing Un-aid
US$129.95 at The Fuzzier Projection Co.

It's a scene we can all identify with: you're at a boring company meeting,
trying to read the latest Slashdot headlines on your PalmPilot, but you can't
concentrate because the PHB is rambling in a loud, booming voice about
e-infomediary-substrategic-paradigms and
meta-content-aggregation-relationship-corridors.

With the Hearing Un-aid(tm), you can put a stop to incessant buzzword-speak by
your boss. Unlike a hearing aid, which amplifies sound, the Hearing Un-aid
dampens noise, so you can easily tune out the board meeting and instead focus
on something far more important, such as downloading Humorix stories.

If you happen to miss something important (yeah, right) and your boss accuses
you of not paying attention, you can simply point to your hearing "aid" and
respond, "What was that? I couldn't hear you because of my temporary hearing
loss."
