1 - What is minux?
Minux is a Computercraft addon that expands the default os on computercraft and provides additional libraries for other programs to use.
while not a true Operating System in the strict sense of the word (craftOS is still the real OS), it adds so many new operating functions it might as well be one.
it is designed to be simple to learn and master, the goal is to be practical and usefull ingame and not a true UNIX system.
you do not need to be a programmer or computer expert to use minux, it's made to be a fun learning tool for minecraft players.
- it is open source, modular, highly configurable and compatible with most software.
- a repository of computercraft software and programs using "mapt" (minux-aptitude) software manager.
- adds several libraries of lua functions that can be used by 3rd party programs.
- it comes with networking support to automate or secure your devices
- completely free and designed to be self-hosted
- adds a basic user interface to increase the computer's ease of use for rookies.
- adds additional commands such as "search", "cat", "newtab" or "calc" to increase the computer's ease of use for veterans.
Minux will run on default Computercraft settings and any ingame computer or turtle, guaranteeing that any CC user can install minux even if they cannot change the MC server's settings.
despite this it is still advised to increase the computer's disk space if you want to take full advantage of all the functions, after all, we can't play a song if we can't download it!
as the name suggests it is inspired by linux, but it is not a real linux system, there's only so much you can do with 1 MB
while it does run on outdated computercraft systems this does imply limited functionality as certain CC functions won't be available
