I see lots of instructions on how to set up a system on the website, but nothing which tells me why this software would be useful.

  "Useful" in what sense? This is retrocomputing, a hobby. Nothing about it is "useful", it's about playing with old computers and emulators for its own sake.

    The first thing on the page is: > C64 OS has one goal. Make a Commodore 64 feel fast and useful in today’s modern world. So I guess whatever "useful in today's modern world" means. What does this new OS allow me to accomplish on a C64?

      Oh, somehow I missed that sentence. I think it's tongue in cheek to be honest.

      Looks to me like a couple things: File / Disk management. The file manager program shown looks spiffy, and is definitively a nod toward today. Write utilities and apps that have a modern workflow. While not much, the included tool kit has the features needed to make applications and utilities people might recognize today. The author has put quite a bit into it. Nice work.

    That would be a good question to ask the author, although, to be fair, he only claimed that it feels useful.

  Its not meant to be useful, its meant to be nostalgic.
