Simple and silly clone of a Linux shell.

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

No features described, but it apparently has a graphical interface.

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

Interface reminds me of some sort of PDA or phone. Seems alright.

More screensavers, backgrounds, etc..

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

Orage Shell

Very fancy and nice looking shell with various functions and icons. Reminds me of the Amiga for some reason.

Whether these emulators support operating systems for these computers is unknown; it must be looked into further. PCs without meaningful OSes are not included.

PCTools 0.97B patched

Patched version of an advanced file manager supporting plugins, nested folders, etc.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/405/40506.html

PedroM 0.83

A very awesome looking GNU GPL adhering Unix-style OS. Feature filled, capable, and flexible. Has USB support. Also works on the 92+.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/319/31951.html

PRAGOS

The obligatory clone of the classic Windows UI.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/117/11759.html

PreOS

A reasonable kernel with various functions, such as “Crash protection”. Has a developer version.

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/350/35090.html

https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/379/37939.html (developer)

Prosit 0.81.1

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+
