It's a GUI OS, not command-line as I expected: http://c64os.com/c64os/usersguide/ (screen shot)
It's still a text mode GUI, though. C-64 has support for custom character sets, it uses those to have some uncommon symbols.

"the other 99.9999999%" would imply that computers now are a billion times faster than a C64. For some tasks, that's true; a GeForce RTX 3090 is claimed to be 36 teraflops, which is a billion times 36000 flops, and the C64 is more like 10000 flops if we figure we need 100 clock cycles per floating-point operation. But, for other tasks, it's not a billion times faster; single-threaded 16-bit integer code might get 0.1…
My phone is better than a SGI Indigo, a Lisp Machine or Connection Machine, yet it gets used as a container for web apps disguised as native.
Burn it all down.
