AROS OS
AROS – Research Operating System
AROS Research Operating System (AROS, pronounced “AR‐OS”) is a free and open‐source multimedia‐centric implementation of the AmigaOS 3.1 application programming interface (API), designed to be both portable and flexible. As of 2021, versions are available for personal computers based on x86 and PowerPC architectures, offered in both native and hosted formats, with additional platforms under development. In a nod to its roots, AROS has also been ported to the Motorola 68000 series used in the Amiga 1200, and there is an ARM version available for the Raspberry Pi series.

“The year 2025 was meant to mark the transition to 64-bit—and it’s truly a pleasure to see that transition happening before our eyes! Last month, we saw the release of a stable base system, and this month we already have the first 64‐bit distribution. Developer activity is clearly visible, along with growing interest from outside the traditional circle of AROS enthusiasts. The AROS project is not only alive but steadily moving forward :)
A new version of the AROS One system has just been released! This is the first edition of the long‐awaited 64‐bit version. It’s available for download as a DVD ISO image or a USB Flash image.”
