SvarDOS: Open-Source DOS Distribution with Package Manager for Retro PCs

Summary

SvarDOS is an open-source DOS distribution project that aims to organize and integrate the best available DOS tools, drivers, and games for PCs from the 1980-2000 era. The project addresses the fragmented ecosystem of DOS software development, which has been abandoned by commercial players since the early 1990s and now survives through hobbyist and retro-enthusiast efforts. SvarDOS provides a network-enabled package manager to make it easy to find and install DOS applications, bringing modern package management to the classic DOS environment.
