I am, like many, observing the developments around Commodore. The brand was bought recently and they are selling a new C64 now (FPGA). They are also selling a PC looking like a C64

This model includes windows, linux and the commodore os

it is basically a linux distribution with emulators. For amiga it uses aros roms.

Also I found this in the forum by the commodore os maintainer:

https://forum.com...aros#p3627

"Commodore OS Vision is its own thing now, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.
We'll see if there's anything to be done in future to integrate something more Amiga like.
It would have been fun to reproduce the Amiga window manager though, but even if I did, we all know it would never be deemed close enough.
In the end, I think we'd all rather have AROS's Wanderer or the real Amiga Workbench as the desktop, even if Commodore OS's MATE desktop experience is arguably superior. I think, even if integrated, they would have to co-exist somehow as alternate desktops you can switch between."

that sounds like the direction aros currently goes including the work and plans of Deadwood

my idea why not cooperating here with them. Perhaps we could all benefit?

What do you think?

Commodore OS Vision has nothing in common with AROS, just Linux distribution like many others!

Commodore OS will find user among old Commodore and Amiga fans. While there is not that much synergy with AROS there is a lot of synergy with AxRuntime which needs "carrier" distributions to show full potential.

As a Linux box I'm not interetsed, but as a well configured system with AcRuntine as the front-end, that's a lot more enticing and I hope would be of interest to other Amiga enthusiats.

If they were commited enough they could offer an AROS native machine on new hardware. As wirh previous efforts of this kind (iMica), it would require investment from them in hardware support, which I guess would boil down to finding additional coders to produce the new drivers as simply throwing in money is no good if the core developers already have a million thigs they want to create. Would there be a market for this, given that previous efforts didn't sell as well as their creators would have wished? Maybe, given the current interest in the new Commodore. Would the new Commodore want to put the effort into this venture? Depends how truly commited they are to the CBM legacy...

Cheers,

Yes it is Linux. But it has a high marketing value so if there is interest and Aros gets a prominent role it might bring new users and developers. So I would see it positive.

You didn't ask me what I think of Commodore OS Vision , so I won't tell... just leave it like that

I have all my AROS running on The CommodoreOS Vision 3.0,the AROS(startaros.sh) is on my desktop ready to enjoy!My AROS Vision 68k 2025 is running fantastio via Winuae!My AROS64,AROS One 64,My AROS One 2.8,My AROS 32 latest core builds, and lastest Tiny Aros are on Virtual Box!I have AROS ONE 68k on Amiberry! I also have my AmigaOS 3.9,4.1, and AmiSYS 4 running Winuae and my Amikit as well!It was my desire to have them all together in some shape or form and easy access.Have a Great Day Everyone! Thank You all the Developers and Distro Maintainers of TEAM AROS and shout out to Amigamia for all the hard work you do!I will continue making videos expressing my love for AROS and hope others will join to make AROS even better than it is today!
