# Virtual Museum Hosts Every OS You Haven’t Heard Of

**[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A developer named Andrew has built a Virtual OS Museum containing 570+ operating systems for 250+ platforms, all packaged as pre-configured virtual machines. The collection goes far beyond typical retrocomputing nostalgia, covering everything from IBM mainframes and VAX systems to Texas Instruments graphing calculators and even the Manchester Baby. The full archive is available as a 128 GB torrent download. The museum itself runs as a modern Linux VM with a launcher to select any system/OS combination, with more additions planned.
