# 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 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.

The only bad thing about the project at the moment seems to be the **lurking [SJW](sjw.md) danger**, presence of some [pseudoleftists](pseudoleft.md) around the project, threatening political takeover etcetc. At the moment there thankfully seems to be no [code of censorship](coc.md), however it can be smelled in the air that there are many people with the eyes on the project extremely horny about adding one. It will most likely be forced very soon -- once this happens, we have to stop supporting the project immediately. Hopefully [forks](fork.md) will come if anything goes wrong. In any case, [we](lrs.md) will be continuing our independent work that will probably yield a similar system, thought much later.
