To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It's at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under "very rare circumstances", according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.

As for the Windows thing, that's nutty bullshit

Related Real Life Lore video from 3y ago but still relevant, that explains the "deadline" of around 2030 for mainland China to attempt an invasion (around 21:00 on video) and the escalation happening then - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6sCsOdqXQw

  1. Cry that I'll have to deal with dial up internet again (my first broadband came around mid 2003)
  2. Be glad that we're back to Windows XP, not as glad that most linux distros still suck for desktop users
  3. If it's May or earlier, buy USD (I live in Brazil and that year the exchange went from 1USD ~= 2,35 in March to 1USD ~= 3,85 in October, due to elections)
  4. Wait, do I even have any money? Gotta hurry to the bank and see if my account exists and has what I had yesterday (2025)
  5. Fuck, paper money and coin for nearly everything
 

I make the specification of non-linux because otherwise this would just become a thread full of obscure distros that do the same thing as a million other distros.

Some lesser known OSs:

  • AROS - based on Amiga OS, has some derivatives like IcarOS and MorphOS
  • Haiku - based on BeOS
  • Redox - Unix-like, made in Rust (might technically count as linux?)
  • Serenity - Unix-like, very late 90s look and feel
  • Kolibri - Tiny OS, the image is ~44MB. It also has a smaller version that fits in a single floppy.
  • PhantomOS - When 3 Russians decide to turn everything about a typical OS upside down.
