So a couple people pointed out to me that at around 12:14 when I was choosing the resolution, I had the VESA driver selected. The menu shows an Nvidia driver, which would have certainly improved performance. However, turns out in this case it doesn't even matter – because I went back and tried to utilize the Nvidia driver, and the display would just freeze up on a still image of the desktop before timing out and reverting back to the VESA driver. I tried this with the Intel driver listed as well and the same thing happened (this is regardless of what resolution and refresh rate I chose with both drivers). So with this particular system, the VESA driver is the only one that actually displays anything properly.
Wow! Your voice changed! I've been a Michael mjd fan since like 2016, I really don't know. but your channel is super good. I recommended this channel to my friends like 5 days ago, but you are the best YouTuber ever. keep up the good work bro. you made me love computers because of you. now i'm a big fan of you. I wish I could join, but I can't because I can't afford it, maybe when i'm 19. I am only 11. thanks for all of the computer help and all the YouTube channel stuff you do. thanks for all your good work. and also I love the videos when you do about non standard operating systems, especially on real physical hardware and not virtual machines. It makes you stand out and see how these operating systems actually hold up outside of virtual machines. Another great video Michael. It's a shame it wasn't open sourced, because it could've had its development really continue, but maybe at a snail's pace, but that would allow the owner to spread out the workload. who knows maybe there would've been some people who would've used sky OS? and maybe stopped it because he was around 16 or 17 and made him stop.
Nice OS. I tried, an older
version of it — years ago.
You have a very nice wall.
ur using a Single core PIII dude.. what you expect for 2007 OS we had dual and quad cores.. run this on a Q6600 Core 2 Quad or Phenom X4 lol
Yeah, I had bought that one. Shortly afterwards he stopped working on it. Too bad.

Calling Skyos a capable system is hilarious.
Sky OS reminds me of another non Linux OS called Syllable OS that had a similar premise. AtheOS was an OS that could run on top of windows, and QubeOS too. Oh there were alot of cool "let's get away from Windows 9x alternatives back then.. Sadly.. NON of them, not even LINUX and FREEBSD could match the overall file compatibility and hardware compatibility of WINDOWS. Even MacOS could not display some jpegs, video, and other multimedia files. I know, I had a ton of pictures and only Windows displayed them all correctly. Linux was the only OS that could do the pictures almost as good as Windows.. Forget midi and audio back then with Linux or any non windows OS.. nightmare with soundcard compatibility. MacOS could do the audio stuff but you had specific hardware with Macs.. For us x86 guys.. it was Windows, or anything else… IF anything else worked with your specific cobbled together hardware mismash. Still cool OS concepts for the late 1990s early 2000s!
Egg Chess is a AAA game
I miss the old Firefox logo.
Didn't even look at the terminal. 🤨
…so what does it DO that Win/Mac/Linux can't? What was the point of MAKING it?? (well obviously, that "mouse gestures" thing…)
'00's. Fixed that for you.
This OS could have overtaken windows easily
Back then it looks nice in 2000’s standards
MJD please try SerenityOS as well!
if somebody updates this thing to work on modern hardware it would be a cool alternative. I want to quit Windows but Linux is not for me (I've tried lots of distros, I couldn't find one where everything worked and I said "this is it, this can be my main OS").
6:39 "And here's all the packages that it will copy."
"airstrike.pkg"
Uh, Michael, you might not want to copy that one…
Okay, so it didn't work, but it's still impressive what was done by mostly a single developer, and I'd still love to look at the source code and see what choices he made in various areas.
The late 90's had a few OS, BeOS, ReactOS, an couple more.
oh man they are so over
Sky ( the british broadcaster ) will do a copyright removal for this operating system
CPU usage does not says anything about real "work" that CPU does – it just tells us what % of time CPU is doing "something". It doesn't matter if that's just one infinite loop or rendering a game. You can write 3 lines of code for an empty loop, and have "100% cpu usage" in task manager.
In this case it's probably related to lack of GPU drivers as all graphics rendering must go through CPU, it's perfectly normal that even rendering scrolling fonts are not reaching target FPS, hence this kind of CPU usage.
