gollark: You could kind of argue that the small embedded potatosystem on the PotatOS OmniDisk is potatOS-derived, but that doesn't share *much* code.
gollark: There's PotatOS Classic, PotatOS Tau (the main version), GovOS (developed for Keansia), ChorOS (for running Chorus City systems), PotatOS Tetrahedron (WIP dev version with mildly less awful code), TomatOS/BurritOS/YomatOS (I mean, same ideas, they don't share a huge amount of code).
gollark: <@107118134875422720> There are actually more potatOS-derived OSes than that.
gollark: Basically, yes.
gollark: SPUDNET in potatOS uses Polychoron for this.
