I have created a Mockup of a Potential Operating System for OpenComputers 1.8.x, this OS is based off of the SharePoint and DOS 5 styles.

Here are some designs:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you would like to see this become a real OS in OC, please reply.

I shall try my hardest to make it fancy and nice, however it will not be hosted on pastebin, it will be a manual download.

Why not github?

Ohh, I forgot to mention, it will be on github as a zip folder which's contents you can add to a specified filesystem folder in your savegame

VEB OS

Construction has officially started

The roadmap can be viewed here under my repository: https://github.com/melanchol69/veboffices.com/blob/main/roadmap.md

The first released VEB OS Product will be VEB CMOS for your eeprom

looks like there's going to be actual competition to MineOS

I still need to fix my repo's, I moved a bunch of stuff to my new organization and some stuff hasn't been shifted yet, I also kind of forgot
By the way, here is the new repo https://github.com/VEBOffices/VEB-OS

Program sneak peak:
Improved loadfile() function, will be included with every VEB OS/Kernel Product

local loadfile=function(proxy,mode,path,len)
  if proxy.type=="drive" then
    local ts=proxy.getCapacity()
    if path > 0 and path <= ts then
      if type(len)=="number" and len >=1 then
        local rd=""
        local count=path
        for i=count,len do
          local rv=proxy.readByte(count)
          local rv2=proxy.readByte(count+1)
          local rv3=proxy.readByte(count+2)
          if string.char(rv)=="\0"and string.char(rv2)=="\0"and string.char(rv3)=="\0"then
            break

            rd=rd..string.char(rv)

Feel free to use it if you want, just be careful with run mode
