The demo boots operating systems now - have a go, and tell me how it feels

[dexif]

Wake up Neo...

The demo at https://espkvm.io/demo is not a video and not a mockup. It is the real console - the same code that ships on the device - with a machine behind it that does not exist.

Until this week it showed one screen. Now there is a drive, and there are images in it. Put one in under Media, press Reset, and see what comes up. The drive is read when the machine restarts, the way a real one does, so swapping a disc while something is running does nothing until you restart it. Switch virtual media off and the target sees no drive at all - also the way a real one does.

Some of what boots is a picture. Some of it is text, and that is the part I would try first: drag across the words and copy them. That is ESP-KVM reading a screen as characters, which is what I reach for when a machine has stopped and I want the error in a bug report instead of in a photograph of a monitor.

There is more in there than that. I am not going to list it - finding it is the point. I will say that one of the images has a black sheep in it, and that clicking it is a decision.

Nice!, like the graphical demo.. ( The clone of my program in it.)

sudo rm -rf / works like a charm 😄

I did experience a few things:

Text selection did not work for me on this screen:

When typing to fast, it would duplicate what I type in:

(I typed htop)

You can also look for other boot options :)

Selection indeed works, the reset worked once, failed the 2nd time (until I refreshed the page).

(and the fruit was not ripe... )

[DaveDavenport]

the reset not working I cannot reproduce consistently.. odd.

[DaveDavenport]

go to sheep os -> shutdown then you see halfos.. then reset does not work.

Fixed thanks ;)
