  • EmuTOS: A Modern FOSS Replacement OS for the Atari ST – and the Amiga Too
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Sep 2022
    FOSS project, Emu68 -- a native 68K emulation environment for Arm, something comparable to Apple's nanokernel for running Classic MacOS on PowerMacs.

    https://github.com/michalsc/Emu68

    [5] Creating an OS that's as good or even better than the original while running on original hardware is impressive. Improved localisation opens it up to more people. That's good. It enables reviving vintage kit more easily, and expanding it. That's great.

    You were so busy mocking something that you didn't stop to consider all the good sides.

    [6] We know TOS was limited. We all know that. OTOH its simplicity enabled this. Its simplicity also was part of why the ST survived as a musicians' tool of choice for decades after it went out of production: super low latencies for music, and so on.

    But others knew that TOS was limited, which drove a 3rd party OS market, with products such as MagiC:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagiC

    And MagiC is now FOSS:

    https://gitlab.com/AndreasK/Atari-Mac-MagiC-Sources

    Which is good, but OTOH, it's not attracted much interest or development, AFAICS...

    Whereas EmuTOS is now on v 1.21 and is seeing new releases several times a year. This is great, and is one reason I posted it.

    [7] The limitations of TOS are also what prompted the development of MINT, and that's FOSS too, and it's quite mature:

    And it has distros, such as AFROS:

    https://aranym.github.io/afros.html

    Which you can run on x86 kit:

    https://aranym.github.io/

    All of which is amazing work.

    So, yes, while you just wanted to do some advocacy, you missed a huge amount of great work by a committed community.

    Not cool, dude.

    Leave the Amiga-v-ST hate in the 1980s where it belonged. It wasn't very welcome then. They're both great computers. But hey, then the fans were children, so they can be excused.

    In 2022, they can't.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Emu68 and atari-mint you can also consider the following projects:

The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
