Isn't that the OS made by desperate mouthbreathing basement dwellers who believe that the Amiga still has a place in the market but can't actually afford the licensing fees to use the name AmigaOS?
emmm Adam said "No!"
I guess that when you say "
who believe that the Amiga still has a place in the market
" you are talking about AmigaOS 4.*, which aims to be targeted to a Amiga N.G.
New Generation machines like
Amiga/{A1/X1000,A1/X5000, ACUBE SAM 440/460}
Practically, in the low-entry-level,
machines built around a cheaper router-PowerPC440/460
(ACUBE SAM 440/460), and sold with the price of a workstation, plus thousand bucks to buy the top gun in thier new-gen-cream (AmigaOne/Xxxxx), which has almost the same computer power than a PowerMac/PPC sold for hundred bucks on the flea bay, the cost-ratio is >~1:10
Mos isNotEqualTo AmigaOS isNotEqualTo ArOS
-
Mos is a super fast OS, with a decent filesystem and interface, developed by a team for pure fun purpose, it's not open source (1) you can get a life-time license, pay once, free use/upgrade for ever.
-
AmigaOS-NG aims to target NG-hw, it's very expensive, far away to be funny, and has a cost in upgrades
-
ArOS is free, it can run on { m68k,ppc,arm?,x86 } but … it's OpenSource (never completed, and it sucks)
(1) It is a mixed proprietary and open source OS produced for the Pegasos PowerPC processor based computer, PowerUP accelerator equipped Amiga computers, and a series of Freescale development boards that use the Genesi Firmware, including the EFIKA and mobileGT. Since MorphOS 2.4 Apple, Inc. Mac Mini G4 is supported as well (
they are the cheapest about Mos License
). The core, based on the
Quark microkernel
, is proprietary, although several libraries and other parts are open source, such as Ambient desktop. You can't get the sources, even if you can join the "
Holy Cult Sect
", and in this case you can see the "
Holy lol Code
"

Only the "old" G5s (a1047, with PCI-X and AGP slots, not PCI-E) are supported. I've been fascinated by morphos but have no reason to use it.
