>not using the best OS
Tell me, anons, why aren't you using the GOAT PonyOS?
>>25869513
I was never aware of this
Shitty reskin or does it come with tools to ease pony watching and OC?
>>25869550
>>25869521
It's not a surprise you haven't heard of it; despite it being the best operating system, it doesn't get much press.
And it's not a reskin, it's its own OS from kernel to userspace. See: http://www.ponyos.org
is twili linux still in development?
>>25869585
Huh, might install it in my shitty c2d box once it gets networking shit just so I can brag about shitposting from it.
>>25869606
Nope. Unfortunately, that got left by the wayside. PonyOS's parent, though, ToaruOS, is still under active development.
>>25869625
Sounds like a plan. It currently works great under QEMU, so if you want to run it from there, that's an option.
>>25869513
Because I don't feel like dealing with the pain in the ass of changing when I am quite happy with 7.

>>25869642
enjoy your botnet
>>25869670
If you say so. You can google around about it if you like; even so, it's not an executable.
>>25869721
>implying I want to got through all the trouble to set one up just to go to some random link on 4chan
>>25869722

So. How much software actually works with this OS that isn't a reskin and is its own thing that "doesn't get much press"?
>>25869513
but... why
the comments section is worse than YouTube
>>25869513
Can I install this on a non-QEMU virtual machine?I have a mac
Anon... MOS-3 is the best operating system known to ponykiind. Why would anypony even use a time-shared program manager?
Cryptic commands, shady filesystem, X graphical interface, as a joke... No way.
I wonder what /g/ thinks about this.
After installing it you should begin coding in FiM++
>>25869513
Because it's not Gentoo.
Trying to install on virtualbox, but it won't accept an .img file. Any idea how to use an .img on virtualbox?
Finally got an emulator working on OS X.
>>25870620
You
I like you :)
>>25869513
Does it support FIM++?
>>25870928
Can you post your wallpaper please?

Here you go.

>mfw this actually exist
>>25871599
Thanks>tfw I have over 3k wallpapers and never see most of them. I need to build a sort system at least.
>>25869738
to be honest I made this thread as a joke, senpai
I use Linux, and have never actually used PonyOS. I just thought the project was pretty interesting.
>>25869871
because ponies
>>25870591
Probably. Not absolutely certain, but it should run on VirtualBox; if it doesn't, you can run linux in VirtualBox and see if QEMU will run from there. Madness, maybe, but it'd be fun to see if it works.
>>25870620
Good choice, comrade! MOS is indeed obviously superior.
>>25870685
Yee
>>25870695
Memes aside, Gentoo is pretty nice once you get it set up. Very comfy.
>>25870928
oh dang son
you did it
>>25871305
obviously
>>25871629
It's not a Linux distro, though. It has its own kernel and userspace.
>>25871673

but muh gaymes
>>25871801
>>>/v/
etc etc
But for reals, yeah, it's not a usable OS, stick with what you use.
>>25871742
>running VMs inside of VMs
It's possible, I installed xp inside of vista inside of 7 on my shit win 8.1 laptop before. It wasn't smooth, but it was happening. That was all with virtualbox though.
Iranian anon here.
I just googled OP's link and I came across something extremely strange.(pic related)
Look at what we have here.
>>25872374
holy shit PonyOS is botnet
ABANDON THREAD
>>25872374
NOT-MEME BOTNET CONFIRMED
I was having mouse problems with QEMU on mac, so I took OP's advice and I have PonyOS running on QEMU running on Linux Mint running on VirtualBox running on OS X.
Now the damn thing won't load past the login screen.
>>25872981
Alright, I got it working now. Totally worth it to play doom.
>>25872981
>>25873049
Holy shit it actually worked. I didn't actually expect that, but that's amazing.
Fucking great job, m8. I'm impressed.
>>25873049
There needs to be a shitty DOOM where you are shining armor and you fuck up changelings
>>25873160
>>25873117
I want to somehow rice PonyOS and install screenfetch on it so I can be in the /g/ desktop thread. If only GR15 wasn't a pain in the ass.
>>25873280
If you're looking for PonyOS that's safe for the other boards, just look up its parent distro (it's on the github account); that's PonyOS's kernel and userspace without the pony rice.
>>25870620
I truly am never going to use another operating system ever.
or as a matter, not any other computer system than the Merolod CVSI, from bestfilly.
For the rest of my life.
>>25874327
you really cannot compete against this.
>>25873311
PonyOS is deprecated since the year 1302
>>25874374
Glory to Equestria, comrade!
>>25874595
...yes...
...i must think of something to do with a computer now.
what do anons use a computer for?
how does horses should use computers?
>>25874681
Anons use computers for shitposting on image boards made for Malaysian Cave Paintings
>>25874750
Nice rice. Subtle wallpaper. I need to finish ricing my install. I'm currently using DWM. Very fast and slim, but hard to really find stuff to modify when you use the terminal almost exclusively.
>>25874799
Thanks.
I'm reposting my desktop, I deleted that post because I was confused about what this thread was for.
>>25874799
What happened to Ubuntu anon?

>>25874812
>>25874813
Oh there he is
This thread is just a general pone + tech (preferably UNIX) thread. Do whatever.
>>25874884
Oh there he is. There he goes again.
>>25874812
I used dwm for almost 2 years and it's lovely, now I'm testing bspwm because its config files are written in bash, you don't have to recompile it to make small changes and it's more flexible when you resize your windows.
Pic is my WIP desktop. I still need to finish my conky config on the top and tweak some more stuff.4chan won't let me upload big pictures for some reason
>>25875214
When recompiling it takes less time than relaunching X, I care less. But hey, I do kind of miss i3. I can't seem to make DWM do what *I* want, it just does its own thing; it's nice to have that, but at the same time, I sometimes just want it to split vertically not horizontally god dammit
Also your pic is literally 2x2
I'll have to upload a screen of mine when I get back to my laptop
>>25875214
Okay, it's a problem with 4chan, but with my shit ISP.
>>25875292
I know, I just wanted to test if my internet would let me upload a small picture at least.
>tfw uploading at literally 300 B/s
Just kill me.
>>25875407
Here's my desktop; dwm borderless, with disabled top-bar. Just the content. I need to add a wallpaper for when it's clean; I'll do that sometime later. Really enjoying my new thinkpad, though.
>>25869513
>I use Arch with Cinnamon
>>25875407
Also, that is one slick-ass desktop, Anon. Very well done. I'm digging the wallpaper and your CSS; what browser are you using to get that? I still haven't figured out how to config surf's default fonts, which means 4chan just looks bog-standard on my machine.
>>25875799
Arch is actually pretty good; no memes, I'm being dead serious. I definitely prefer LFS or Debian (except for apt, holy shit apt sucks), but it's a pretty great distro, to be honest family.
>Cinnamon
Eh, it's okay. It's made entirely for people who couldn't get over Gnome 3, but it's alright asides from that. Not the best, not the worst.
>>25875799
Nobody does that though.
>>25875749
Are you using Termsyn?
I tested st for a while but I switched back to urxvt because the scroll patch doesn't work well, no support for eastern characters and shitty rendered "ponysay blocks" are really annoying.
This pic is great for some pony subtleness on /g/.
>>25875815
Thanks. What you see there is just Firefox with Pentadactyl, every single FF bar hidden and, obviously, a custom CSS. surf supports custom CSSs, so maybe you can make a global CSS using your font of choice.
>>25875891
Nope, no termsyn here. And st is pretty damn nice except for scrollback and ponysay; super fast and damn clean. Never used any eastern characters, so I can't speak on that, but eh. I can totally see why people generally use urxvt over it, though.
Actually, yeah. Now that you mention that, I vaguely remember that on the website. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to go look it up.
>>25875815
And here's the wallpaper.
>>25869513
I am. As a guest OS.
>>25875945
crush'd that for you
[M>All these sexy riced desktops and here I am using XFCE that kinda looks like an edgy black osx...
>>25876899
It's okay, anon. I want to see it! All Unix-based desktops are beautiful, in their own way.
>>25877293
Oldish pic (I've changed my wallpaper at least 9 times since this pic

>thinkpad
muh african american
I like the numix-circle icon set. Very nice, Anon. It actually looks pretty damn good.
TIL so goddamn much. Apparently there's a pony OS and a programming language.
I don't know whether to laugh or be damn proud.
>>25878156
There's a deep rabbit hole of obscure OSes, Anon. It goes on for what feels like forever, each one claiming to be more pure than the last; basically, the further back in obscurity and hardware support you go, the better it gets, as far as philosophical purity goes. PonyOS lies on the third tier of the outer edge of the hole; custom built, obscure, doesn't run on much hardware, but lacks a 'philosophy' for users to be snobbish about.
>>25878091
>new pic, same old theme
What's nice is that not everything is a circle, only programs and some shit like arrow buttons in Thunar.
Also, no idea why I like the dock given I launch everything with keyboard shortcuts now.
>>25878255
It's comfy, and the icons are sexy anyway. How do you like XFCE? I tried it, but I'd already tried tiling WMs and couldn't go back.
>>25878351
I like it a lot, before it, I'd used GNOME 2 (Ubuntu 9.whatever on an old laptop) and loved it. I tried MATE, but XFCE is nicer in my opinion. I've tried kde in the past too, not my thing eitherand fuck unity.
I think I have i3 or awesome installed on my c2d mintshitbox, but i probably need to find a cheatsheet for keyboard shortcuts before fucking with it again.

>it's its own OS from kernel to userspace
>Raw disk image in a tarball (1GB) - 189MB download
Something doesn't add up here, assuming this was created by a single person or a small team. If it is true that the OS contains no derivative parts, then whoever wrote it must be a superhuman genius with a lot of free time or, possibly, the ability to bend time.
>>25879471
*derived parts
