    The Zeal Operating System is a modernized fork of the 64-bit Temple Operating System, TempleOS.

  • Shrine

    A TempleOS distro for heretics (by minexew)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Lsh

    Lambda Shell for TempleOS (by minexew)

  • I worked on the history system to Shrine's shell (Lsh) in 2020. Development of Shrine is stalled currently so the changes never propagated to Shrine proper.

    I would call Shrine a fairly minimalist fork, in that there's a lot built on top of TempleOS, but the core is mostly the same. A more minimalist fork is TinkerOS, which is a lot closer to stock TempleOS but with bugfixes, modern hardware support, and some software packages added.

    ZealOS is a maximalist fork, changing the core of TempleOS everywhere the authors see fit. The fork authors are in contact with each other and discuss ideas / share code occasionally.

    Lsh's repo: https://github.com/minexew/Lsh
