View source for Root (operating system family)

[[File:Os-tree.png|thumb|Tree demonstrating the evolution of Root systems. {{Metainf|So far.}}]]
The '''Root''' family is a group of related operating systems based on various versions of [[Stone Root]], a system developed by [[Marcian Telecommunication Systems Co.]] in 1691. Due to Stone Root's open source nature, most if not all Root systems share their progenitor's source model, with notable proprietary exceptions including X, X and [[Ka Daq OS]]. They usually share a common software suite, preemptive multitasking, multiple users and time-sharing capabilities.

== Notable members ==

=== Oxygen ===
Based on USRoot, the–by the time severely outdated–variant of Stone Root used by the [[University of Şilaffurıt]], [[Hermia]]. A versatile, highly customisable OS.

=== Mackerel ===
A Root-based OS that began as a hobby project by high school computer sciences professor [[Luovu Meärin]] in 1708. Started getting traction in online forums and eventually became a beloved niche FOSS operating system with a cult following.

=== Ka Daq OS ===
A proprietary Oxygen-derived OS shipped with Ka Daq devices. It's made for ease of adoption and use, complete with a polished desktop environment.
