Some explanation about games and othe quirks of KolibriOS. KolibriOS is being developed by small community of about 30 people (maybe more), mostly from past-soviet countries. This explains, for example, why speed test tried to download a file from tele2 domain (this is Russian network provider). Clicks, Reversi, Lines and Lights were pretty common on IBM-PC compatable computers in Russia and close countries after Soviet collapse. And KFAR is named like that because there is a program called FAR, developed by Russian programmer Evgeniy Roshal, who, by the way, developed RAR archivation algorythm. So, this FAR program is pretty popular in post-soviet countries among IT-specialists because of it's powerful functionality and small size, so KFAR is, in a sense, nod to that program. I don't, by the way, state, that this is purely Russian OS or anything like this. I just did give some context about oddities. KolibryOS is a product of multinational team and should be seen as an example of such.

[@povilasstaniulis9484]

Actually, Tele2 is a Swedish mobile provider, russian Tele2 isn't owned by them, it only shares the brand name. But I do I see latinized russian in application names, (Palitra - palette, Kosilka - lawnmower, etc.). Also, I see a Seawar game, which also used to be popular in post-soviet countries. Far file manager is of russian origin too. And the Lines game.

[@michaellegg9381]

Maybe there is a bug in the drivers! Try a bunch of different cards and see if there is 1 that actually works.. I remember Linux in the mid 90s and early 2000s network cards and modems was the biggest issue.. my 486 DX4 100 could run most Linux distros but 80% didn't support my 56k modems or my network cards which killed Linux for me back then I didn't know anything about compiling the kernel or drivers so if I had any hardware issues it was a instant format and move on to the next distribution eventually landing back on win95 because it just works best for the hardware I had. So maybe report the bug and check the site for any other information to get network cards working or maybe they have other drivers for download. Even check to see if there's any other people uploading software they have made for the os as they might have a 3rd party driver possibly.

[@michaellegg9381]

Or see if you find someone who has the os fully working and ask them how and if it just worked for them find out what their hardware configuration is.. also the download might have got a tiny bit corrupted during the download or transfer to floppy and has killed a system file or corrupt driver package.. it could be heaps of things really 😆 but a part 2 would be great to see it online and what the issue was and how to fix it as this is is perfect for my kids at school it has everything and my 6th gen Intel core i5 laptop with 16gb DDR4 would be perfect for this is it would be fast and efficient and do everything it needs to do plus play games.

That is pretty impressive. I got quite alot of use out of early ramdisk based OS's. WAAAY back in the day I used QNX, which also fit on a floppy disc, but was pretty much just a modem dialler, TCP/IP stack and web browser and GUI. It did work very well and reliably. got me out of a pickle more than once. I also used SLAX for a good few years as my main OS, as I was traveling, couch surfing, and staying between a few places. was really nice to have the same OS anywhere I went on a USB stick, configured just how I wanted it, on any random computer. I also didnt have to worry that the machine I was on had any viruses or malware, and I didnt leave a trail of my Data or logins or anything. running entirely from RAM, SLAX felt so fast to use, even the most geriatric boat anchor was smooth to use. sure, it took ages to boot, but that was a fair price to turn any PC into your PC, and with enough RAM, faster than anything ive used up to this day. sure did freak out a few people, seeing their machine become something completely different. some took a level of offence, some wanted a copy, just cos it went so fast. RAM-disk based OS's are next level. unfortunately it stopped getting updated, and once the browser got depreciated it kinda killed the whole thing. but by then I could afford a decent laptop and didnt need to borrow machines. It absolutely had its downfalls, and was a bit of a pig to get set up, but once running was one of the best OS's ive ever used.
