Status

An honest preview.

Pets OS for Frientom is a developer preview. Today it runs in its own window on a Mac with Apple silicon or in a virtual machine (QEMU), and there’s a USB image for Intel or AMD PCs that hasn’t been tested on a real PC yet; it doesn’t install onto your computer or replace its system, and there’s no Frientom laptop to buy yet. Real hardware needs drivers for each part, which is the next big job.
