PsychOS is a systemd-free, GNU/Linux operating system based on Devuan ASCII but tailored towards retrophiles of all ages. It is packed with software and scripts for an easier, out-of-the-box user experience.

This 3.8GB ISO Includes:

• - 3000+ installed packages
• - 90+ Python modules
• - 390+ Supported file formats
• - Interesting Thunar Custom Actions
• - Customized .bashrc for quickly doing things in the command-line for when CLIMax isn't enough
• - DOS software included with RetroGrab to add more

Future Plans and Ideas

Currently, my main focus is PsychOS for GNU/Linux on 32-bit computers as it seems that fewer and fewer people seem to care; however, I'm not waiting until 20 years from now when the next wave of "retrophilia" comes about to make something "cool." So, the plan is to try to maintain a 32-bit GNU/Linux-based operating system for as long as I can.

However, I think it would be neat to make flavors of PsychOS using other operating systems such as FreeDOS or KolibriOS. I would also like to take some of the custom-made software and have versions of them made for 20+ year old systems such as those made by Acorn, Atari, Amiga, Commodore, and so forth, though of course they would be very limited by comparison to their GNU/Linux counter-parts. It would be more or less of a "share while I learn" sort of project. [More]
