GentleOS – Classic operating system with a lovely retro GUI
Either all pictures are AI generated using QEMU templates that were there previously https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos32/commit/d40576226b7020... or those are real pictured beautified by AI. YT loves doing that to thumbnails, example https://hackaday.com/2026/06/03/hydraulic-drive-for-your-law...

Show HN: GentleOS – A pair of hobby OSes for vintage 32-bit and 16-bit PCs
I clicked around in the kernel section and the other commenters highlighting the simplicity weren't lying. It's beautiful in its simplicity.
Seeing the screenshots I was kind of expecting this was a pre-emptive multi-tasking OS (forgetting what I read in the submission).
Things that thus surprised me on a cursory look:
- noticed krn_main() ends with `while (1);`: https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos32/blob/main/kernel/main.c#L28. I would've expected a "schedule" call or something. I assume there's no real busy loop burning CPU, maybe it's never meant to reach this code?
