It is my pleasure to finally release Commodore OS Vision 3.0, which is a free fan-made Commodore inspired Linux distribution (now based on Debian Bookworm) which serves as the default installation for Commodore branded machines such as the Commodore 64x available from MyRetroComputer.com. Commodore OS is a retro futuristic "vision" of what Commodore might have produced in an alternate timeline.

The Biggest Games Oriented Linux Distribution Ever!
Commodore OS Vision 3.0 is the largest, games oriented, Linux distribution ever produced, featuring 200+ free linux compatible games as well as an assortment of classic Commodore games and demos that will undoubtedly scratch your nostalgic itch.

Commodore OS now has its own BASIC
Commodore OS BASIC V1 is a modern BASIC implementation featuring 3D graphics, built-in sprites, built-in tilemaps, 2D and 3D physics and user types. Future development will be geared towards compiling software for the original C64 and Amiga hardware. With Commodore emulation all set up, a plentitude of pixel based graphics editors (including C64 sprite and charset editors), as well as Amiga MOD and C64 SID trackers, why not build you dream retro game on Commodore OS?

Introducing Commodore OS Central for Commodore OS Users
Commodore OS Central hopes to serve as a resource hub containing things of interest to Commodore OS users such as manuals and other retro oriented resources. Development is well underway towards it becoming a game installer/store/launcher which includes community interaction.

A New Settings Manager
Commodore OS Vision 3.0 now features a retro inspired Settings Manager, for configuring ROMS and emulation, startup options (i.e Animated wallpaper, retro jingles) and much more.

Filled to the Brim with Nostalgia
Gigabytes of retro goodness await you, with hundreds of classic Commodore games, demos, animations and chiptune music to experience, all within a few clicks.

Commodore OS Vision was a publicly available linux distribution created by Leo Nigro on behalf of Commodore USA LLC in 2010, which was used as a default install for their new Commodore branded line of computers including the Commodore 64x (below).

Feeling nostalgic? Commodore OS can be updated with C64 and Amiga ROMs(from Cloanto) to become Commodore compatible, with the ability to run classic 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit era Commodore software via emulation. A beautiful universal game launcher is currently under development which will allow you to easily peruse games for the Commodore PET, VIC-20, C16/Plus4, C64, C128 and AMIGA as well as other micro computers and consoles of the era. No need to bother with floppy disks, as many games can be either legally puchased and downloaded from the internet to your computer, or played on-demand directly from the internet software archive.
