The Virtual OS Museum is an OS emulator implemented as a Linux VM for QEMU, VirtualBox, or UTM.
A custom emulator-independent launcher is provided, with all operating systems and emulators pre-installed and configured. The launcher also includes a snapshot function to quickly restore the installation to a working state if it becomes corrupted, as well as hypervisor installers and shortcuts for running VMs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
According to the developers, 'It includes almost all of the well-known operating systems and platforms, plus many more minor ones in some form, covering the history from the Manchester Baby (the first stored-program computer) in 1948 to the present day.'

The developers stated, 'Our goal is to include this in a format that anyone can run on a reasonably modern laptop or desktop, provided a working version of the OS exists somewhere.'
