Developer releases ZacOS 9, a Mac OS 9-style desktop built on Debian Linux
A solo developer has released ZacOS 9, a free and open-source Linux distribution that recreates the Mac OS 8/9 Platinum interface from scratch, including a custom window manager, file browser and menu bar. It runs standard Debian and Flathub apps within that retro look, includes a SheepShaver emulator for running classic Mac OS with a user-supplied ROM, and supports AppleTalk/AFP file sharing with old Macs. It can be tried live from USB or installed afterward.
