ArcaOS is a proprietary operating system based on OS/2, developed and marketed by Arca Noae, LLC under license from IBM.[3][4] It was first released in 2017 and builds on OS/2 Warp 4.52 by adding support for new hardware, fixing defects and limitations in the operating system, and by including new applications and tools,[5] and includes some Linux/Unix tool compatibility. It is targeted at professional users who need to run their OS/2 applications on new hardware, as well as personal users of OS/2.[6]
Like OS/2 Warp, ArcaOS is a 32-bit[7] single user, multiprocessing,[8] preemptive multitasking[9] operating system for the x86 architecture.[10] It is supported on both physical hardware[11] and virtual machine hypervisors.[12]
