Commodore OS Vision is a 64-bit Linux distribution which was originally based on Linux Mint and is now an unofficial spin of MX Linux. This distribution was created for Commodore enthusiasts and people who appreciate a retro style interface. Commodore OS Vision uses the MATE desktop interface and features a retro look and effects. It has a classic Commodore slant with a selection of applications reminiscent of their classic Amiga counterparts.

Good morning, I have installed with relative difficulty Commodore OS in a MacBook Pro 6.2 retina laptop where almost all the distributions have failed, excluding (Deevuan, FatDog, Debian, Ubuntu) The first two distributions mentioned very performing compared to the second, while the only one I did not have to intervene is FatDog. Commodore OS immediately proved itself capable of solving the various problems through the very complete menu displayed at the start. (It´s a pity that it doesn´t remain even after installation.) The environment is extremely polished, responsive, and embodies a thought reconductable to the glories of the 90´s. Everything is available almost right out of the box and the infamous wireless network card works after removing the relevant component from the blacklist. Commodore OS is not just an exercise in style, it´s a careful work on what distributions should look like, what technologies to implement, how to make them usable for those who want to operate right out of the box.

I downloaded and installed Commodore OS Vision 3.0 yesterday. I love the retro Commodore theme. It includes lots of games, multimedia stuff, emulators and more. It runs great on my 12 year old Toshiba laptop. It even includes drivers for my laptop's wifi adapter out of the box, something that's missing from other distros like Ubuntu. It connected to my home wifi network with no hassles. I took away 1 star, because the 36gb ISO file is a HUGE download. The ISO file was so big, I couldn't copy it to a USB flash drive with exFAT. I had to format the USB drive with NTFS to accomidate such a large file. Then when I installed Commodore OS Vision 3.0, it used 86gb of disk space. I took away 1 star because it's so BIG. But once it was installed, it works great!

I've been using 2.0 for over a year with recording software without any problems. Wine seems to work well. The games are nice memories of a safer time when we knew nothing about politics.
I was looking forward to the update except the 36gb file ? My internet provider charges us extra when we go over our "unlimited" data plan and this file could send us up to $50. To have the base OS with an option to download the games would have been nice. Could you come out with a Vision4.0 with all repositories working....thank you !
