New open-source OS for Amiga computers.
One of the most appealing aspects of AROS is its open nature that puts power in the hands of people who wish to contribute. Since releasing Apollo OS RC1 many users have joined our ApolloOS-Dev section or the Discord #ApolloTeam server and contributed code, performed recompiles, and testing.
We found that AROS in its original state added extra layers of abstraction and confusion never before seen in the original AmigaOS.
This sort of uncontrolled bloat lowers compatibility with original Amiga 68K programs and slows down the OS. Such abstractions are fun with multi gigahertz PC’s, but a headache when run on even the fastest 68K CPU. We're fixing this.
By contrast, our focus is on 68K and Amiga hardware support to make the AROS kernel as compatible as possible.
Our forked AROS branch will focus on Amiga 68k to 100% and will not work on X86 or PPC. To attain the best speed possible, we will tune appropriated functions to take full advantage of AMMX and the 68080.
