PyTermOS aims to provide a simple and accessible platform for learning about Linux, programming, and system operations.</p> <h2> Key Features </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Lightweight and Fast:</strong> PyTermOS is designed to run smoothly on minimal hardware.</li> <li> <strong>Educational Focus:</strong> Ideal for learners who want to understand the basics of Linux and programming.</li> <li> <strong>Python Integration:</strong> Includes a command-line interface built with Python, making it perfect for Python enthusiasts.</li> <li> <strong>Open Source:</strong> Fully open-source and available on GitHub for anyone to explore, use, and contribute to.</li> <li> <strong>PyTerm Powered:</strong> Built with Python, a new command-line interface made for MacOS is now the point of PyTermOS. PyTerm was for people that want to try Bash or zsh but want to learn using a smaller terminal.</li> </ul> <h2> Getting Started </h2> <h3> 1. </h3> <p>Get the PyTermOS Bootable image from <a href="https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/069C_WVIjLR8Dou0oQZ5_f6Pg#PyTermOS_Versions">iCloud</a>. Soon will be created a downloads page on (pytermos.com)[<a href="https://pytermos.com">https://pytermos.com</a>)<br> Note: you won’t find anything on that iCloud page because PyTermOS is still in development and is not ready for being run on hardware.</p> <h3> 2. </h3> <p>Use software like Balena Etcher or RPi Imager and install PyTermOS.</p> <h3> 3. </h3> <p>Insert the Micro SD Card in your Raspberry Pi. Other boards are not supported.</p> <h3> 4. </h3> <p>First-Boot to PyTermOS. Firstly you'll see the Linux Splash Screen and then it will boot to PTCLI. (PyTerm CLI)</p> <h3> 5. </h3> <p>Now use PyTermOS!</p> <h2> Contributions welcome! </h2> <p>All contributions are welcome.</p> <h3> How? </h3> <p>Fork the <a href="https://github.com/PyTermOS-Project/PyTermOS">PyTermOS</a> Github repo. And then contribute!</p> <h3> If it's not hard, can you please star or view the repository for making PyTermOS more popular? </h3> <p>All stars and views will be appreciated.</p> <h2> PyTermOS Links </h2> <p>Main page: <a href="https://pytermos.com">pytermos.com</a></p> <p>Documentation page: <a href="https://docs.pytermos.com/">docs.pytermos.com</a></p> <p>Meaning of PyTermOS page: <a href="https://pytermos.com/sense.html">pytermos.com/sense.html</a></p> <p>RSS Feed: <a href="https://github.com/organizations/PyTermOS-Project/markpavlenko.private.atom?token=A2GQHEY22M7CXNZLNVHGBWGEOV4P4">PyTermOS-Project GitHub RSS</a></p> <p>Github Repo: <a href="https://github.com/PyTermOS-Project/PyTermOS">PyTermOS-Project/PyTermOS</a></p> <h3> Note: it is not done and not working. </h3> <p>Thanks for reading!!</p> linux opensource python
