# Dusk OS
Dusk OS (http://duskos.org/) is a work in progress non-[Unix](unix.md) extremely [minimalist](minimalism.md) 32 bit [free as in freedom](free_software.md) [operating system](operating_system.md) whose primary purpose is to be helpful during societal [collapse](collapse.md) but which will still likely be very useful even before it happens. It is made mainly by [Virgil Dupras](dupras.md), the developer of [Collapse OS](collapseos.md), as a bit "bigger" version of Collapse OS, one that's intended for the first stage of societal collapse and will be more "powerful" and comfortable to use for the price of increased complexity (while Collapse OS is simpler and meant for the use during later stages). But don't be fooled, Dusk OS is still light year ahead in simplicity than the most minimal [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md) distro you can imagine; by this extremely minimalist design Dusk OS is very close to the ideals of our [LRS](lrs.md), it is written in [Forth](forth.md) but also additionally (unlike Collapse OS) includes a so called "Almost [C](c.md)" compiler allowing [ports](port.md) of already existing programs, e.g. Unix [command line](cli.md) utilities. It is also available under [CC0](cc0.md) [public domain](public_domain.md) just as official LRS projects, that's simply unreal.

It can also be seen as a Forth implementation/system. The project is available under [CC0](cc0.md) [public domain](public_domain.md) just as official LRS projects, that's simply unreal.
The project has a private mailing list. Apparently there is talk about the system being useful even before the collapse and so it's even considering things like [networking](network.md) support etc. -- as [capitalism](capitalism.md) unleashes hell on [Earth](earth.md), any simple computer capable of working on its own and allowing the user complete control will be tremendously useful, even if it's just a programmable calculator. Once [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md) and [BSD](bsd.md)s sink completely (very soon), this may be where we find the safe haven.

- some nice text [shell](shell.md) will be made
- sound: ???
- networking: being considered
- NOT a Unix-like but will naturally be aligned with many of its concepts as per simplicity
