Curious about RISC OS? It's fast, responsive, easy to use, and still actively developed. You can download it free from riscosopen.org and try it in an emulator or on supported hardware. Then discover more with Archive Magazine. #RISCOS #OpenSource

Morning, More Testing and adding more features underway, The plan for a hopeful Beta Release this year will see a 64Bit Kernel and Apps and Window Manager running in 32Bit User space for now, which will enable bare metal booting on the Pi5 and Dual Core. #RISCOS Then it will build on that in stages. #64bit

Depends what the Chromebook is and it's architecture as there is 2 flavours of this build an Arm 64 that supports 32bit user space, or an emulated x86 version

Received this prototype board from @Mirko_DIY this week and it's a beauty! I hope this one goes into full production. It's early days but I have an original MirkoPC and if this one lives up to that one, it'll be an excellent piece of kit. #sofarSOgood #raspberrypi #cm4 #cm5

After an excellent suggestion at a hardware mod on the board from @Mirko_DIY, I now have NVMe enabled with a Compute Module 4 and #RISC_OS on the new #MirkoPC. Not many hardware designers would put in so much time to help a niche user base make best use of their hardware.

Perhaps some modification of the Modulo4 project with a special edition for RISC OS and a set of several cases (plastic, wood) was an interesting option for enthusiasts who wanted to assemble their own retro PC.
