Pleasing looking OS with actual greyscale.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/206/20659.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/310/31047.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/260/26005.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/122/12267.html

Great looking shell, but it doesn’t do much with existing programs. Practically functions as an OS.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/105/10510.html
Punix
So far the kernel is being written, and user-space utilities and applications will follow.
This OS is highly comprehensive, detailed, authentic, and sufficient for serving as a Unix-like. Almost complete, but there are known build issues. Remarkable work for this calculator. Note: this is primarily aimed at the TI-92+

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/150/15035.html
TI Shell
The usual menus, “square environment”, and taskbar at bottom.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/226/22671.html

Even more cloning of Linux shells. French only?
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/262/26251.html

This has a dithered background for something.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/118/11887.html
ViperOs
Complete with dithered folder icons.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/295/29559.html

Reminds me of an Apple Newton or something. In reality, it’s supposed to be cloning Windows.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/144/14498.html
Win 95
Another Windows clone, as is usual for these calculators.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/406/40691.html

Games, chat, GUI. What else does a WinClone need?
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/124/12420.html
WinOS v3
This one lets you change the cursors.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/112/11202.html
WinSCAPE II
Nice dithered background, and of course it actually does some things.
Xport
Looks very cool, but it can’t launch BASIC. Luckily, it can run ppg, whatever that is.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/251/25179.html
Internet
Internet Explorer
Not exactly able to connect to the outside world, but this is a comprehensive HTML file viewer.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/156/15679.html

Yet another comprehensive HTML viewer.
