Having a large collection of offline reference books, maps, and music/movies for entertainment would still be desirable for those who can find a way to power/charge a device.
Rather than building a 'collapse OS', maybe just hoard some reference material, and have a plan (and multiple backup plans) for powering/charging devices in the absense of a power grid or fuel for generators/vehicles.
I don't think anyone's going to be doing much coding in a post-collapse world, let alone tinkering with the internals of an OS
- 29athrowaway 3y agoMaps will be useful but after EMPs and nuclear winter, consuming maps on a powered device will be impractical. Paper maps will be far more practical. First targets going down in a global war will be GPS, Galileo, Glonass, etc. so all those systems will go offline right away. All power will go to water pumps, heating, air conditioning, mining, etc.
