TextPYOS is an MS-DOS/Linux inspired OS, attempting to give the feeling of older text-based operating systems. TextPYOS is written purely in Python. We encourage you to look at the code, and make modifications yourself!
TextPYOS dates back to about 2023 (Or earlier, oldest evidence is around mid-2023) when it was known as "Python.OS", and was only about 30-40 lines. (Can be found in Python Source). The idea came to me sometime in 2022, I briefly learned python on and off until about 2023, then wrote it in mid-2023.
We try to make TextPYOS appeal to everyone, however not everyone is interested in old technology or modern recreations of it, so we mostly appeal to people who like old technology written with modern code.
Despite the name, TextPYOS is not a real operating system.
