WinDOS X is an experimental operating system being created with the idea of building an OS that combines features from Windows, DOS and Linux. To utilize convenience and principles of Windows with modifiability and safety of Linux.

WinDOS is a CLI operating system using a DOS-like environment. WinDOS X is a version of WinDOS extended by a graphical user interface.

*** WARNING: The WinDOS X OS is highly experimental software, not recommended for everyday use... ***

Features

  • !! HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE !!
  • Built on the Linux kernel.
  • Uses a DOS-like environment.
  • Uses a graphical environment.
  • The graphical environment works as an external extension to the text-based operating system. The system is independent from it.
  • Runs Windows software (EXE and MSI applications).
  • Runs Linux software (classic executables and AppImage applications).
  • Uses an automatic drive letter mapping system (known from DOS and Windows) instead of complicated mountpoint system used in Linux.
  • Uses Windows filesystems (NTFS/FAT32) for C: drive.
  • Keeps Linux system directories hidden for better orientation in the filesystem.
  • The project's goal is to develop such a Linux system that will be clear and usable for an ordinary Windows user.
