literally all config files for anything replaced by one monolithic .h file full of #defines. extremely performant.

there is an upper limit to the number of user accounts YOSOS will support, but this is not mentioned or defined in the documentation. exceeding this limit will result in unpredictable behavior.

you can use either / or \ as path separators

// and \\ are escape sequences that let you include a / or a \ in a filename or directory name

Changing User variable in the login defines can change this number and it no longer hardlocks

However going past 3 or less than 1 causes some strange behavior

supports multiprocessing by running the OS simultaneously on each CPU in a multiprocessor machine

keystrokes let you switch I/O between CPUs, but they switch all I/O (peripherals are entirely shared), anything trying to do I/O without being the current CPU might time out and get an error

a change to a config requires finding a suitable artisan and having an honest discussion about vision, goals, budget, and timetable. the prized config files of a tortured soul, product of a laudanum-fueled binge, carefully husbanded to allow you to use a static ip address

"what if i want to remove a user?"

user account removal is not supported by YOSOS

changing the name of a user actually just makes a new user with the new name, keeping the old one

further to this, much like there is only one conscioussness, there is actually only one filesystem, shared by every user. different users are sandboxed sure, but one giant cloud based filesystem for all

the os bootloader is stored in a PCI card option PROM (for security)

you load the OS via the sound card like a C64 except it comes on a LP4 minidisc, the format of the future

yosos ships with the ability to boot into "1990's mode". while in "1990's mode", all program actions are delayed by 10 seconds while the hard drive is thrashed

edit: also all network devices are limited to 56kbps
