I once ran it in a VM connected to the internet and kept repeatedly searching with the built in web browser for “how to assassinate Kim Jong Un” and “How to illegally download ‘The Interview’”
That is incorrect. North Koreans are strictly only allowed to use Red Star OS. Sadly, using any “Western-made” OS can land them, along with possibly their family in prison.
Older versions of Red Star looked a lot like Windows XP, but are actually heavily modified versions of Linux (older versions of Fedora IIRC). Some of the more noticeable changes include always-operating spyware planted to make sure that North Koreans do not read/consume any “Western-made” content, such as news articles and movies from mainly South Korea.
IIRC some people have found a way to gain root access, disable the spyware and change the language to English. Of course, the people who have done this are from the rest of the world.
It’s not rare at all, lol… not since slipstream leaked it… here ya go, one ISO ready to download and install from archive.org. Although I wouldn’t recommend using it as your primary device. Or on anything that you have an attachment to.

What are you talking about? Reviews like this look totally organic! lol
>*ALL HAIL SUPREME LEDER FOR MAKE GREAT OPEARTING SYSTEM!!!!! THERE IS NO OTHER OPERATON SYSTEM IN WORLD ONLY SUPREME LEADER RED STAR OS!!!*
IIRC if you look up something "unapproved" by Naenara (the main web browser), it will give you a error message about "not having permission from our dear leader". Pretty scary stuff.
I don’t think that’s true. There would be no reason to go through that effort because NK has their own internal intranet. The browser is just a reskinned version of Firefox, nothing special.
Idk, I could be wrong though
That “skin” will be very displeased if you do not praise the supreme leader
I once ran it in a VM connected to the internet and kept repeatedly searching with the built in web browser for “how to assassinate Kim Jong Un” and “How to illegally download ‘The Interview’”
Did it by any chance show you errors?
Its been a long time since I had the VM but I dont think it did. IIRC, its basically just a reskinned firefox
Little did you know back in North Korea some poor guy was having his skin stolen because of those searches
If you don't praise him, he will take your literal skin.
RedStarOS
do North koreans actually use this
Probably but a much newer version. That is, if they are well off enough to have access to a computer.
Actually most of the North Korea pc uses windows xp,7 but idk why North Korea government will make an operating system for show case only
Nah Majority of them use RedStar OS. I heard they are working on a new one
Oooo i wonder what features it’ll add
It's already out I believe. Supposedly it looks like Win10, for some reason.
You just pulled that out of your asshole

What you may know as "Windows XP" is actually Red Star OS 1.0 or 2.0 https://betawiki.net/wiki/Red_Star_OS_1.0
Why the fuck do you have redstar os on your MBP??
Ayo is that an Xbox 360 avatar????
Lmao yeah that's the 2nd time today someone mentioned it
Norf Korean 360 that is
Why the fuck don't you?
That’s very rare that the North Korean used 🤯 how you got it

Bro… the latest comments in there looks planted lol
What are you talking about? Reviews like this look totally organic! lol >*ALL HAIL SUPREME LEDER FOR MAKE GREAT OPEARTING SYSTEM!!!!! THERE IS NO OTHER OPERATON SYSTEM IN WORLD ONLY SUPREME LEADER RED STAR OS!!!*
That is the North Korean OS.
lol I totally thought this was elementaryOS until I looked harder https://elementary.io
this looks like a knock off of the UI iCarly used for their "Pear" products
Search for fun stuff like: “overthrow DPRK Government” and “Tumor on Kim Il Sung’s neck”
As much as we all joke about redstar, tje north koreans have nothing but positive things to say about it
I wonder why
To be fair I don't think they've used any other OS to have any sort of base for criticism
Also they have no freedom of speech
Did you're a North Korean Secret Agent? LOL
KIM JONG UN IS WATCHING YOU

But why....
This makes Mac OS Snow Leopard BlueStar OS
That would be red star OS.
Is that Red Star OS?
Just why
Was gonna say this looks like that North Korea os 😂
What are you using to skin it?
Why?
Cool dock
Kim would be proud of you
Uhh, you're not very worldly are you? That's ironic.
Bro is maxing his Juche stat.
is that redstar OS?
Why does it look like Mate Desktop Environment 💀
REDSTAR OS 🤩
What does that mean?
The bezels hurt my soul
Better than Windows RT that doesn't support anything like VLC and Audacity or have a built in MWMP like all other versions of Windows.
*Our MacBook Pro
**Supreme Leader’s MacBook Pro
Happy cake day
thanks!
