The holidays are coming, there’s a chill in the air (literally for me, I live in the Arctic), so it’s time for a few new additions to the official OSNews Merch Store.
Do you live in the terminal, breathe the terminal? We’ve got new shirts just for you. The opening message of the terminals of Mac OS X, BeOS, and MS-DOS (let’s be generous and call MS-DOS a terminal), with a command to call an osnews directory on the file system, printed on the front of the shirt. They sport the correct fonts, background colours, and exact verbiage used in the operating systems themselves. For the Mac OS X one, I had to choose a last login date and a username, so I opted for the exact time and date of birth of my oldest son, and a username that’s a bit of an Easter egg.
These shirts of the organic cotton variety, and all proceeds go to supporting OSNews’ continued existence so we don’t have to resort to SEO crap, “AI”-generated garbage, and malvertising. Every item sold on the store generates around $10 for us, with the rest going to our partner Bonfire for producing the items and running the store.
You can also support OSNews through individual donations on Ko-Fi, by becoming a Patreon, and by supporting us through LiberaPay.
waiting for Amiga console themed T-shirts.
You all know that we live in a parallel universe where Apple is the alternative and Commodore Amiga failed to.
In the “main” timeline, Apple failed and the alternative ecosystem is Amiga.
All the other stuff (windows and the other OSes) for me can remain in the actual state….
I focused on systems I know a lot about from personal use for now, to ensure I don’t make any mistakes. If you have any screenshots – definitive ones – of what the console/terminal on AmigaOS looks like when launched, and how to call a directory, let me know!
I guess that 95% distros and real usage is Bash, so…
Love the idea, and the t-shirts are beautiful, but none of them are my OS of choice. Any reason you didn’t include a Linux version? Too many distros to choose from?
The problem with Linux is that there’s loads of popular shells, and each DE and/or distribution looks different. I could possibly use the Linux console? I’ve considered something similar for Solaris and the BSDs, but I need to do way more research.
call, command Lynnie doesn’t exactly scream Mac. How about macOS8 or 9 welcom screen Where the last extension/icon to load is an OS news icon.
