In the public domain software world I still mostly only see PDOS and various TempleOS related projects and forks

So, practically/functionally speaking, how is this different from FreeDOS, and why should I use this instead of FreeDOS?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

mostly just software licensing versus FreeDOS and much less functionality (but the focus has been on squaring away basics, anyone could probably add a lot more public domain programs on from this point forward, idk what fundamentals still need to be fixed)
