'''AROS Research Operating System''' ('''AROS''', pronounced "AR-OS") is a [[free and open-source software|free and open-source]] multi media centric implementation of the [[AmigaOS]] 3.1 application programming interface ([[API]]) which is designed to be portable and flexible. {{As of|2021}}, [[Porting|ports]] are available for [[personal computer]]s (PCs) based on [[x86]] and [[PowerPC]], in [[native (computing)|native]] and hosted ''flavors'', with other architectures in development. In a show of full circle development, AROS has been ported to the [[Motorola 68000 series]] (m68k) based [[Amiga 1200]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.evillabs.net/wiki/index.php/AROS_m68k-amiga |title=AROS m68k-amiga |website=Evillabs.net |access-date=April 10, 2011 |archive-date=February 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209044137/http://www.evillabs.net/wiki/index.php/AROS_m68k-amiga |url-status=dead }}</ref> and there is also an [[ARM architecture family|ARM]] port for the [[Raspberry Pi]] series.

While the OS is still lacking in applications, a few have been ported, including [[Unix Amiga Emulator|E-UAE]], an emulation program that allows m68k-native AmigaOS applications to run. Some AROS-specific applications have also been written. AROS has [[Internet protocol suite|TCP/IP]] networking support, and has available an experimental version of [[AMosaic]] web browser, for test purposes, among other Internet-related applications. The Poseidon [[USB]] stack has been ported to AROS.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.osnews.com/story/21548/Poseidon_USB_Stack_Bounty_Reached_Open_Source_AROS_Port |title=Poseidon USB Stack Bounty Reached: Open Source, AROS Port |website=OSNews |access-date=September 7, 2010}}</ref>
AROS is designed to be [[Source-code compatibility|source-compatible]] with [[AmigaOS]]. On m68k [[Amiga]] hardware it is also [[Binary-code compatibility|binary-compatible]], so binaries already compiled for AmigaOS 3 can be run on AROS.<ref>[[Wikibooks:Aros/Platforms/68k support]]</ref> On x86 [[IA-32]] 32-bit platforms Janus-UAE,<ref>{{Cite web|url=
The aim of AROS is to remain aloof of the legal and political spats that have plagued other AmigaOS implementations by being independent of hardware and of any central control. The de facto motto of AROS, "No schedule and rocking" both lampoons the infamous words "On Schedule and Rockin" from [[Amiga, Inc.]] CEO Bill McEwen, and declares a lack of the formal deadlines.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amiga.com/corporate/amigadepartypack.shtml|title=AmigaDE Party Pack Announcement |website=Amiga Inc. |date=June 11, 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010619055418/http://www.amiga.com/corporate/amigadepartypack.shtml |archive-date=June 19, 2001}}</ref>

=== Icaros Desktop ===
Since April 2009, the name VMWAros has been changed into "Icaros Desktop" to avoid ambiguities with any existing copyrighted [[
=== Broadway ===
Broadway is a distribution of AROS begun late 2009. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use and complete AROS experience. AROS Broadway contains some commercial software such as a media center, a [[cloud storage service]], and an app store. The latest version is 1.0 preview 5, released April 16, 2016.<ref name="AROS Broadway">{{cite web |title=AROS Broadway |url=http://www.aros-broadway.de/ |website=www.aros-broadway.de |access-date=14 March 2017 |language=en |archive-date=September 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929114817/http://www.aros-broadway.de/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Apollo OS ===
ApolloOS is an active m68k distribution, crafted specially for the Vampire V4 Standalone [[FPGA]]-based system.
=== AxRuntime (AxRT) ===
AxRuntime uses the AROS source code to create a portable runtime, which is what AROS in hosted mode is actually anyway.
As a tool for developers the runtime makes use of this mode more convenient. The current version is version V41.4.<ref>https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/tree/alt-runtime/arch/all-runtime/docs/distribution</ref>
AxRuntime binaries are Linux binaries, but work with Windows Subsystem for Linux on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
For use on Linux the best recommendation is Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit, other Linux systems are less well supported but work.
== Influence on AmigaOS and MorphOS ==
[[Haage & Partner]] used small pieces of the AROS source code for AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9.<ref>{{Cite web |url=
