Community reception
"I hate those fake OS worlds so fucking much it’s just a bunch of links in a rectangle.
Mass produced low effort SLOP and then they act like it’s a masterpiece they toiled away for years making like bfr if I had a little sister she could take like 10 mins making a better version."

/Hello173/os

On October 19th, 2025, Hello added an MP4 player that allowed users to record the computer's screen.
