The Mockups Wiki

Welcome to !

'''A wiki of Operating System Mockups. Better management. From OSM creators, to OSM creators. Managed by Santuchi'''

This wiki is a resurrection and a better-managed version over the previous attempts from people of making a proper Operating System Mockups wikia with backstories, and more.

What are Operating System Mockups?
For starters; Operating System Mockups is a cult dedicated for people who creates concepts of fake operating systems or fake versions out of already-existing operating systems (e.x. Linux, Windows, macOS, etc...), along with sounds of startup and shutdowns. It's been a thing since 2008 with the boom of "Never Released Windows Versions" and nowadays it's still an alive cult and a community for it.

Story of Operating System Mockups
Operating System Mockups began as "Never Released Windows versions" back in 2008 when the former-content creator named as jhj22 made a video named as "Never Released Windows Versions (Part 1)", which was a compilation of other Windows XP parodies made in a forum dedicated to technology. In 2010-2011 it was considered for this cult to be named as "Windows Never Released", and during it's primal years this was how it must be named as. In 2017 people began critisizing this name as broken English and that must be considered another name for it. In the same year, a one-off for Windows Never Released just appeared called "Never Released Operating Systems" by the user of Luigi2012SM64. This was intended to be the same nature as for Windows Never Released but instead it would be with other Operating Systems, up to Linux, macOS and different fictional Operating System series. In 2018, it was considered that both series must be merged together. Naming itself as "OS Mockups" or simply, Operating System Mockups. Which combined Windows Never Released & Never Released Operating Systems together.

Current state of Operating System Mockups
Currently Operating System Mockups is been going into a downhill in 2017 for several reasons, ranging from toxic and problematic members, tribes or WNR religions, drama and up to people moving on. That's what mostly made the OS mockups community to lose it's charm and basically the purpose of making fake Operating System Mockups just for hobby, to be into a somewhat competitive ambiance with poorly-argumented reasons.

Just operating system mockups?
No, not only just that, this wiki is meant to be all about mockups of other things, even hardware, not only operating system mockups.

The Mockups Server
The Mockups Server is a place where this wiki derivates mostly from, you can post your own mockups, talk to anyone who's interested in mockups, and much more.
