Introduction

Over the past few weeks, several of you have asked me to take a look at the Lunduke Computer Operating System, or LCOS for short. I’ll admit, I hadn’t heard of it before your requests, so today I want to take a look at what it is, how it works, and what its use case is.

I had to do a little research before sitting down with LCOS. I’ve seen Bryan Lunduke’s name on social media, specifically a few X posts, and a few YouTube Videos. I didn’t realize he’d started his own Linux distribution. Apparently, I haven’t been paying close enough attention.

While I don’t follow Lunduke, doing a little research indicated that he has disagreements with large parts of the open-source community. But that’s not what I what I want to look at here. I’m going to focus specifically on the requests I received, and examine LCOS itself and share my thoughts on it from an end user perspective. If you’re looking for political drama, you won’t find it here.
