Hello fellow ComputerCraft people!

Years ago, in Minecraft 1.6, I made an OS for ComputerCraft.
Recently, I came across the source and decided to revive the project and improve it.
I have started porting it to 1.8.

This OS is centered around ease-of-use and programmer friendliness. It allows for an easy way to install and update modules with little to no hassle (more on that later). Albÿno OS can auto-update to deliver the latest patches and bug-fixes.

I will post images when I feel like it. (pretty soon)

Features that work in 1.8:
Spoiler• auto-update (configurable)
• basic multi-user login system
• file explorer based on FileX
• working "apt-get" with addable repos (the repos have a simple format)
• very basic KDE-like desktop (think Windows)
• configurable default programs for formats
• programs can register formats that they can open
• a bunch of shell jargon and apis that will help programmers
• basic filesystem protection
It currently also has an installation, and only supports advanced devices.

This is pretty neat. The ability to add packages to the installation of the os is cool. Totally stealing that. ;)/>
