>set to release OS in response to a market dominated by Windows We already have hundreds of GNU/Linux distributions, BSD, ReactOS, etc. This is just going to fragment Free Software even further. We need just 1 (one) OS that can be polished and competitive in marketshare with the kikeshit.
>blockchain WTF? Why not just push the use of some standard, already existing linux and just add some repo with a few pieces of your own software to it. would already be 100% better than windows and if that gains traction then you can start to europeanize it more, but I bet good money that this will end like all the other >lets reinvent the wheel EU-linux projects before it.

Gen X should have never been allowed to hear the word "blockchain", they have no idea what the fuck it is but they think it's a good idea for everything

>We need just 1 (one) OS And that'll be OS that uses your favorite init system, package manager and DE, right?
Nicholas Cox
Gypsies who are mad at being called gypsies release an operating system literary called Gypsy OS.
That probably means they just use eight bytes for pointers as usual but reserve two bits for some metadata or another and someone's stupid enough to turn this information into telling reporters something dumb.

Go back to r*ddit where you belong, faggot.

>Government backed So another way for them to keep us in check? Yeah no thanks, hai sictir. The fact that some retards will fall for this shit and use it really makes me laugh. I wonder how much did Dragnea/Iohannis pay to get full access to all the info it will steal?
>blockchain cryptocurrency OS that's like windows but with a Romanian flair jesus christ this is the darkest timeline
Ryan Butler
Romania is one of the last countries I would trust to make an os.

>Set to release in 2025 What the fuck is the point in announcing it then?
>Concept stages only. Team of only 3 developers, one of who only worked for some webapp stuff for Valve for 3 months. Uhm... ok.
>VPN to be provided by 3rd party provider ((((hidemyass)))) Wow thats so secure
>Already raising rounds of investment for $3.2 million with a grant from Romani government of $50k but are expecting team to expand to 35 people by end of 2018. There's 0 chance this will be a thing with such small funding amounts.
>Kernel development not started yet. Romani's at their scams again
looks incredibly gay. >>Built in VPN fuck off, thanks.

>There's 0 chance this will be a thing with such small funding amounts. But romanian devs work for nothing

>RomaOS set to double the GDP output of the entire country with its launch in 2025 with a fully integrated blockchain supported by its cryptocurrency which Romania's president Klaus Iohannis says will "embark Romania into a better, more self-sufficient and most advanced stage yet" . Although some from the event claim to be sceptical of the realism of these claims. Developers rebutted the claims as false allegations by Win/OSX fans, and say they will integrate RomaOS into all hardware coming out of Romania by 2033.
So they are turning an entire country into outputting shitty GNU distributions?
>Release date is presumed to be in 2025, although no confirmations can be made. Developers are hoping to expand the developer team to 35 by the end of 2018.
>vpn provided by brave and hidemyass what kind of fucking concoction is this. Is hidemyass providing proxie tunnels and brave the other? Or do they mean they will have brave built in as the default browser. Eitherway this is shit, if they were all about """anonymity""" they'd just integrate Tor or build their own not that spywere shit called brave created by (((((them)))))
>Grant of 50,000 romanian shekels >VPN provided by HideMyAss >3 Developers. 2 of which have little to no experience and the other worked for Valve for literary 3 months. >Have to have the president himself endorse it. >Blockchain. >Release 2025
Yeah this definitely isn't another ponzi-scheme like every other crypto BS.
I cant find anything else on the web about it through search engines :( and there's no discussion on osnews or hackernews

How is this freeware then? How will they double GDP if it's free? Do they plan to use this as ransomeware integrated for all the AK47's and Lada cars they produce?
I am bulgarian and have no problem with making fun of bulgaria. I am sure that romanians would have no problem with making fun of romania as well. It is all memes and fun for us.
>>Same GUI as Windows 99.999% chance of them only doing the visuals but not the UX. Say goodbye to the myriad of hotkeys that even autistic grognards with too much time weren't able to copy even half of in any Linux distribution.
I have no idea why everyone falls for the "it looks the same so it's good enough" fallacy when it comes to competing with closed-source GUIs.

I think their government should instead support their data haven efforts for pirates. As dumb as that sounds, it can make whopping pile of shekels for all parties.
