TurronOS is an operating system developed by Turron Technologies for x86, x86_64, PowerPC, and ARM platforms. It is known for its inclusion on the TurronTech PC. It bears similarity to Linux or Unix (despite being neither), and takes UI design inspiration from BeOS, Windows, and OS/2.

There are desktop, server, and mobile versions of TurronOS.

Out of the box, it includes (but is not limited to) a terminal emulator, a file manager, an image editor and text editor, a web browser, a media player, a desktop hypervisor, and a full office suite. It contains compatibility tools to run programs written for Linux, DOS and Windows.

Development

TurronOS was first introduced in 1995 as a competitor to Windows 95 and the emerging OSBlue platform. When designing TurronOS, TurronTech wanted to "combine the ease of Windows with the power and efficiency of a Unix-like operating system."
