2009 might be earliest HN commentary, but MenuetOS dates back to at least 2005 according to the Internet Archive.

> Menuet64 is closed source because M32 was forked and new copyrights just slapped at the beginning of practically all 32bit source files (multitasking, drivers, GUI, networking..) without any permission. You can take a guess about the country in question.

Here's a Windows installer for MenuetOS from 2001.

there are better fringe OS:es if you care about security.

QubesOS for example

Is the IntelHDA audio driver only available for 64-bit MenuetOS? According to the release notes, it was first included in version 0.96X, which seems to be 64-bit.

The developer has only made one 32-bit version (0.86) availabe, though. Would be great to have past releases available as well.

EDIT: Apparently the 32-bit versions have not come too far in the last 12+ years -- in 2011 (when the Intel HDA driver was released), version 0.85 of M32 was downloadable: https://web.archive.org/web/20110615210928/http://www.menuet...

I'm learning some assembly (on FreeDOS), so MenuetOS is interesting. Was hoping to test it (+ the HDA audio, for 24-bit playback -- and maybe try to make sense of the audio driver source, for a hobby project) on a Dell Mini 9, which is 32 bit. It's time to move on then, I guess.

I think the "5 * 9 is at least 40" from Rick and Morty is relevant here : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IxqcYJEXr6I
