I downloaded the CommodoreOS3-20250422_0209.iso when it was released. The file is 37 GB. HyperV didn't recognize it as an ISO, and I just didn't put any further work into getting it going. I still have this monster ISO just sitting there, almost a year later.

Did anyone get it installed? They do have video about the initial experience right there on the download page. It sounds pretty unique.

Maybe I'll sneakernet that 40gb file to my server or something.

I'm not familiar with the project. I'm assuming that the file is actually a raw disk image. Judging by the installation instructions.

Looks like you'd have an easier time using VMWare Workstation (free for personal use).
