CarbonOS - A Fast, Simple, and Secure OS

Have you ever though that all OS's just are not what you wanted, Wanted some features that are not available in other OS's.

Well CarbonOS might be the answer for you.

CarbonOS is not just your normal OS. It is still in beta and the GUI is not that good yet but it will do a lot of things later on.

It auto-updates and comes with a few programs. Feel free to look and modify any of the code

If CarbonOS crashes please go to https://github.com/C...CarbonOS/issues and make a new issue

How to properly report errorsIssue Format:

Version: <OS Version in /System/.version>
Error: <Error you got>
What i did to cause this error: <What you did that caused the error>

I'd like to do a review of this, but clicking anywhere crashes it.
On top of that, the beta crashes on line 93 of the startup file.

Yeah i am aware about that. The GUI does not work, it is not a crash. I'm also trying to work out that bug in the beta. I might end up rewriting the beta because it is so unstable.

I got CarbonOS (beta) to run, but after entered my username and password, it errors with os 79 attempt to index a nil value. (Because i edited a bit the code (for private uses), it isn't the correct line)

I might end up rewriting the beta because it does not work well. I am going to look into it with LuaIDE

I'm not trying to be mean here, but you should really make sure your programs work before releasing it on here.
If you manage to fix the bugs, I'd do another review.
P.S. why you using an ingame editor? Use sublime text, Atom or Notepad++ for that, it makes it alot easier.

Although these editors are all awesome (I prefer Atom though) LuaIDE has a feature none of the others could ever have (I guess you could make that work with an atom plugin). It has built-in error handling; that means that it marks lines which throw errors in red and it tries to "understand" the error, giving you suggestions for the most common errors.

You usually don't need that but it's helpful when you start with Lua and CC.

You just recommended me an AWESOME editor !

(Way better than notepad++ and sublime, in my opinion)

Well, honestly I prefer external editors, especially Atom. Not trying to make an advertisement here, but oh well.
Atom's features:
  • Open source (you can edit the code including the init and configuration scripts)
  • Modular, hundreds if not thousands of packages available (kinda like "theres an app for that")
  • Right packages, right functions (combine language-lua with lua-linter, do the math)
  • Preset code suggestions (you dont want to write a giant license in a file, type "legal" and press enter)
  • Native git support (I dunno if you can commit directly from it before)
Plus, if were going to talk about this it'd be a good idea to move this convo to another thread.

Third of all, this was a fresh install, how do you manage to make a release without even testing your stuff…

Before I start necroing things, before making an OS and or posting it on the forums on the first time, you should read the readmes first.
A quote from the readme:
Do not post here unless you have working code and releases. Don't post it anywhere else, either. Don't create more than one thread, you know the rules
Well, I'm just gonna leave this alone for a bit until there is actually working code, so I stop necroing threads.

Guys, it is not a crash. I just didn't make the GUI yet

Hi,
I need your permission to do a complete rewrite of the code.
Can I do that?

Errrrr what?
Might as well make your own OS, unrelated to CarbonOS if your going for a "complete rewrite".

Anyone is allowed to fork the OS and change it.

Yeah. In the beginning, I wanted to make a different OS called CarbonOS. Is it ok if I take the name?

My Carbon OS Crashed:

Ver: Release

Error 20

I install it and after reboot got this error.

CarbonOS is no longer in support
The OS will now be all community based. Feel free to send in any PR's and I might accept it.

Thank you for understanding.

You could use cce or computercraft emulator to program on. Personally I think it's the best way to make computercraft stuff
