MacOS? No.. Red Star OS. I'm installing the North Korean operating system with 2 simple goals: Get it to actually boot and play Minecraft on it. I'll do anything to have Red Star OS on my computer. What computer will it end up on? I guess you'll have to watch to find out.

Its fire everyone should listen to it underrated asf
@skriptkitty-term Thank you :)
@metrabyte03hey
The fact that this was made with version of iOS from North Korea 😂😂😂
Hey theres some guy on TikTok stealing your videos and not crediting you
NSA 1: Is it a spy?
NSA 2: Worse... It's a content creator.
NSA 3: what's a content creator?
Lol
@salmanbaig3983😂
NSA 4: what's a spy?
At least u can shoot the spy...
North Korean camera app probably sends crystal clear webcam stream to the government but the user only sees static.
It does take screenshots of the camera view.
😂 what for? Their cloud servers need to really waste space and energy to keep recording every joe sitting on his loo 😂
@asleepawake3645Yup, clickbait video.
@NobodyAwsumlol
@asleepawake3645 To make sure that people aren't doing things like watching media that hasn't been sanctioned by the government, communicating with the outside world, practicing religion, etc.
Thanks! I can see you now.
Oh no
:o
Coolio dudilio
Imagine if this were real 🤔
Bc people like this must know that nobody would believe them if they used their real name 😮
Bro thinks he's tough
The north Korean regime trying to track down who TF is playing Minecraft in their country until they realize it's some RUclipsr trolling them 😂😂😂
lol 😂
Laughing my ass of imagining this 😂
Sadly it's unlikely.
Nirth Korea kinda only has a Intranet. Which even had no DNS. At least last Time when there was a leak.
So probably the spy endpoint isn't even available outside North Korea
LOL😂
@josh993654but the regime probably does have access to the world wide web
It was Kim all along...Testing out his rtx 5080
At this point, so many people have installed Red Star os that there are more users outside North Korea than inside!
I am using this on a daily basis, my favourite operating system
@tranquilo2023you mean OUR favourite operating system?
@RandomPancake-is-albanian
@tranquilo2023 shqipe
@RandomPancake-is-albanian Albanian
Genius Kim Jong Un was daydreaming and had an idea to invent a thing named Operating System for his people. :D
The citizens of North Korea are eternally grateful to Kim Jong Un for letting them use a moderated form of the worldwide web.
I think it's just a linux
@mr.ahsan.360 It is.
And then the rest of the world stole the idea! And made it western and bad!
This guy should really tattoo on his arm to never visit North Korea in case he gets early onset Alzheimer’s at 64
*OUR* computer..
*Soviet anthem plays loudly*
kris deltarune pfp spotted
Deltarune lore revealed: Kris uses Red Star OS
@Autistic.Man69yes, i do.. susie told me “itd be fun”
@Autistic.Man69it's part of the north korea route that no one has found yet
5:20 Funny thing you noticed that. North Korea actually created their own time zone that doesn’t match up with the UTC that the rest of the world uses.
As a Korean, I find the language used in North Korea's Red Star OS quite interesting. It's not so much that the words are difficult to recognize, but rather that they use some amusing word combinations.

그 언어를 구사하는 사람에게는 이상하게 들린다는 것을 아는 것은 흥미롭습니다! 나는 영어 원어민이기 때문에 어쨌든 모든 것이 이상하게 들린다.
(used the translate app on my iphone!)
@sadiesunshineee Being a “Native English speaker” doesn’t stop you from being able to understand other languages, it is your unwillingness to do so.
@isaacjones5687 bro i was just trying to have fun literally what’s the big deal
@isaacjones5687 language-barrier exist though.
@isaacjones5687 just know every countries language dawg why are you so unwilling
6:27 I am that one Korean viewer this was a very entertaining experience for me watching you struggle with Korean haha
Actually, the Germans have already reverse engineered this OS. It doesn't call home to tattle on you, and if it did... it would be trying to access an internal IP to the NK walled-garden.
Kim Jong Un scours RUclips for comments about himself.
Nerdy
@parkerbohnn Don't worry, they can't take winnie the pooh from us.
That’s actually really interesting! Honestly I sort of figured, but thought it was funnier to assume Kim would come get me lmao

why is the song actually so good, kinda fitting into a mystic rpg game ngl..
Thank you! :) I hear what you mean
helo kris deltarun
Holy shit same pfp
Atleast drop time stamp man
@Infinity19Gaming 14:07
But can it run Doom?
Perfect question
If it has a screen, doom can be seen.
No, but it comes with the most realistic VR version of escape from Castle Wolfenstein you ever played.
@jackyack7850actually funny
Idk
the song in the end.. it was worth to watch the whole video for this. i'm obsessed lol
Thank you :)
Sounds like it’s from the game Portal 2 100%. At least the beginning.
The spyware should actually be mostly harmless because it is build with NK’s intranet in mind and not our internet.
So it shouldn’t be able to resolve most if not any addresses.
OH FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT T^T
@EleanorQuestionMarkWell I simply happen to have multiple interests that overlap with this topic
@ethelonarchistNo way me too woah :0
I dont know, but couldn‘t be there some spyware, that still has not been detected yet? Some well known cyberattacks probably have their origin in north korea.
I just cant imagine, they doesnt build it with the thought back in mind, that it could get leaked to the www.
And even if it did send everything to the NK government, what are they gonna do, send an elite team to kill a random youtuber in the US?
I have a theory. That one steam player from North Korea is you. Also I’m surprised there is a way to get the Korean bloat ware off of red star os
If this is a joke I'm just bad at recognising it but we actually know who the steam player in North Korea is, its kim's brother that doesn't want to be in politics
@streax8885honestly real though
@Breachheadfr
Nah it's probably Kim Jung Un himself if there's only one it's only a fair assumption that it'd be their God king Kim xD
Can't have some North Korean weeb showing him up on his CS:GO world scores. You're always the best of NK if you're the only one from NK lmfaooo
@toxickilljoy9037Not to mention there's no way a leader would enjoy spending time in his own sloppy creations 😂
1:02 dude you found the founder of windows
john linux is his brother
😂
@flixheffI guess
Kim Jong un is probably confused like "How tf is someone using this in America?"
Moreover, WHY??? lol
Frutiger aero ❌
Frutiger Juche ☑
No fruit-ger aero
Just a reminder, guys - Metrabyte’s not suicidal.
😭
@RudraAhalawat-nw5qtdon’t cry
@fuseegelee df?
@drlnkspiller I told him not to cry because he used the 😢 can’t you tell what did you use the “ good keep smiling” option, in hit game deltarune?
@fuseegelee you can’t be serious 😭
about 12:30, it said "Hello sir, how about make your move first?"
toward the border
12:28*
That song is actually really good. It seems like it would fit perfectly in a video game sound track maybe like a Jungle Soundtrack for Minecraft
Thank you, I really appreciate that :)
I wish North Korea wasn't so isolated even just to get some tech experts in to update their ancient software, come on
He mentioned this wasn't current
North Koreans are smarter than Americans,they know they r in trap bruhhh,they r hardworking ppl and don't need to smash hamburgers in ur ass
@ytcmbt2505 did you not see how the operating systen looked and ran like L O L
@ytcmbt2505 ik theyre a nuclear power but they arent doing well and put basically all their money to defense
@ElysetheEevee Well, for what we DO know about North Korea is that its defense is pretty good, they have a solid military and plenty of nukes and intercontinental missiles, and everything else other than defense just falls to pieces.
남한에서 이걸 깔면 잡혀갈수도 있습니다 ㅋㅋㅋ
9:09 It did not work. All you did was give it permissions so that it could be ran. You did not actually run it
I'm pretty sure it has less spyware than Windows 11
Technically you could be right lmao
Technically, yes, there are only a handful of spywares. Most of which are local, compared to Win.
yeah, and especially if you're outside north korea because it only attempts to connect to kwangmyong IP addresses (kwangmyong is north korea's country-wide intranet)
@jakeyounglolIt actually tries global ones as well but fails silently due to iptables
As a Windows 11 user, I can tell you that is totally untrue, there is no spyware, so please use it and store all of your most sensitive info. I am not being held hostage by my PC and forced to say these things.
He hasn’t posted since this video… they got him
13:26 THE GREATEST TECHINICAN THAT'S EVER LIVED REFERENCE???
Yes The Greatest Composer Thats Ever lived
14:08 Perfect song to escape North Korea
Bootleg MacOS on a bootleg iMac AND you’re now more in danger than just using this computer with regular windows.
For reference it would be dangerous to use this computer on windows because it’s so slow that by clicking on something and waiting for it to happen, you would have probably looked at the static screen for so long that you’d probably fry multiple brain cells.
It is definitely slow enough to make me question my life choices, as I listen to the hard drive thrash in what I can only assume is syrup
What is windows?
@babizee5316 an operating system
@babizee5316 They are usually a frame with glass, separating interior from exterior. You can even look through them, and open and close some of them.
3:43 it kind of scared me because it said *dead star* and not *red star*
the red star died
North Korea creepypasta
I remember them....
Rather than Dead Star, it would really be cool if it said Death Star and showed the actual Death Star from Star Wars.
Kim.exe
*Kim Jong-un wants to know your location…*
2:53 so it’s a ransomware without the „10 btc“ paid?
4:49 why is the subway surfers gone I can’t finish watching the video without it
1:17 they havent even moved to the 3rd one! in most photos of computer labs you see, theyre still running redstar os 2
Oh interesting!
wait hang on how do you know
@dizzy_jumpphotos of computer labs
Cool!
my internet is already so slow i would simply not notice
for like a solid 3 minutes of the video i thought i was watching jiga tech
I'm glad I'm not the only one that confuses them
I thought the same
@megalofightback they sound exactly the same and both have a blue wall, so confusing
@Mangonaise205 no offense but like they dont sound the same at all
To non native speakers of english they sound the same, its a accent thing@tallreversd
0:29 "superstition ain't the way" (instrumental break)
rip kim jong il you would’ve loved minecraft on 붉은별 OS on an old macbook
that HP is already backdoored by their gov xd (cool vid)
HP stands for HorsePiss
No, according to Salem Techsperts says it means Hinge Problem
i have it running on native hardware... i have actually used it as a daily driver before, its not that bad but it is old, you dont risk north korea chasing you, you risk regular viruses
John Windows? Owner of Winsdale Windowdome?
11:15 I've NEVER heard that one windows
It's from kde
All remaining systems will bow to the vast order and will remember this 🙋🏻
I'm from north korea & we're happy that you've tried our operating system.
u fr?
@John17TheOGmp4nah
@John17TheOGmp4no dumbass
@John17TheOGmp4bro they don’t even have remote access to the internet of course he’s not fr
@Snap134 he said FROM north korea, not IN north korea
When there was that thing about the guy in North Korea accessing STEAM, was that you?
use this for 7 days straight
8:59 "i am kerchoo" literally caught me off guard 😂😂😂
and he was never heard from again
Crazy thing is that the theme on RedStar is actually quite nice and a faithful recreation of MacOS. it's a shame it's ancient spyware tho
I wish there was a genuine Linux distro like this. I can only imagine the copyright nightmare it would be though lmao
@metrabyte03 pear os
@metrabyte03 I'm sure apple doesn't care.
I recon you could use ElementaryOS if you wanted a Mac-Lite experience. it looks very maccy
@metrabyte03 there is, its called pearOS
@heatedroachit’s not as good as
3:59 omg job application im unemployed and eat mangoes with mustard and I had a heart attack
Sorry, I'll add a jumpsca-JOB APPLICATION-re warning next time
JOB APPLICATION
ew mangos with mistard
I’m sorry what?
JOBJOBJOBJOBJOB
>new metrabyte video
>looks inside
* You still found nothing.
* Go home.
"Windows? No, that won't spy on me enough"
The music software plays everything like a half step sharp lmfao
that’s incredibly funny lmao
I’m putting this on my school computer
How to piss off Kim Jong un 101:
guys he disappeared, its been 2 days, his family is saying that he hasn't come home since 2 days
😱 how sad, has the police been involved. I pray that he is safe 😭
Same (sarcastically)
7:03 top left corner "oh my god"
I’m glad someone else noticed
Bruh just got a telescreen
This is an interesting topic, but i hate the hectic pace of this video with everything happening and changing within seconds.
Kim Jong Un is using their own internet and their own processor. How genius.
Never thought I’d see my first ever computer on this channel. Honestly, red star os is a perfect fit for that aio
yeah i use red star OS every day ! pretty cool when you actually know how to use it ! i'l get off of the internet before kim jung un kidnaps me for using the internet (jk i don't use red star OS)
@Sacapuce2.0Woah dude that's crazy, just curious, where are you right now?
Would be interesting to take a wireshark capture of the traffic coming to and from the OS.
I hope North Korea incorporates that music into their next OS update
was not expecting that mix... that breakdown was fire 15:36
Hp - Hinge Problem
No, it means, Huge Problem
@wenhaoytfor hp laptops is Hinge problem
As a person who has used an HP product, I approve of these messages
@metrabyte03lol
@metrabyte03 As an hp user,it surely means huge pen-
7:02
the translation on one of the tabs is oh my god
Can't wait for RedStar 4.
5:19 my theory about the time is that before 2018 North Korea actually had its own time zone (UTC +8:30). Red Star 3.0 was released in 2012 so I think it’s using UTC +8:30 even though that doesn’t exist anymore. Do you know if the minutes were exactly half an hour ahead (like was it X:07 when you noticed it)
FACE REVEAL 0:41
Hes shown it on the tv vid
Security 1:51 😂 😮 😱
"I have brought peace, Justice and security to my new empire"
@josiaharaki7310 "Your new Empire....?"
@viniciuspro7777"if you're not with me, then you're my enemy."
@josiaharaki7310 OHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT
That music making software looked awesome tho
13:31 “ohhh im sso sticky” on the notepad😭🙏
the double whammy of John Windows and then russian Windows 9 showing up directly after legitimately got me
I still don’t know wtf windows 9 is😭😭😭😭
5:34 why did bro sound like goofy
Our computer
Kim Jung Un wouldn't be able to fit in your walls
The mouse is tryna defect to South Korea
if people think this is actually spying on you, it's an old version of Red Star OS that won't spy on you.
(edit: people saying that "oh it will still spy on you" no, the servers/storage thing would all be dead (due to the really old version), and the spy feature would probably only work on north korean registered network providers.)
I still won't trust it
And cool username
It still could be spying
@Lorinc936 wouldn't do, the servers/storage thing would all be dead, and the spy feature would probably only work on north korean registered network providers.
@ram_stick_samuraiAnd even if they were up, I'm sure North Korea blocks connections outside of North Korea
This OS doesn't send any personal info to NK government. It's just a Linux. Only Microsoft sends your personal data to U.S. government.
😬😬😬
Oh shit I'm switching then
Bye bye Microsoft hello Red Star OS
Whatever you say kim
That's exactly what a NK fed would say. 🧐
This bro is a north korean spy
12:53 looks like Microsoft Office 2010
Such a vibe
apparently it's based on openoffice and is called "우리" ("Uri")
5:46 "Liver" maybe from "livery"? Idk.
why is every single note in the music app shifted up by a semitone lol
3:35 This is gonna be the craziest collab ever 🪦
3:53 thanks i needed that
16:02 SECRET VIDEO THAT I NEVER FOUND LOL
6:47 i love the country escaper folder
11:21 these sounds are from kde which is the desktop environment that red star os uses
i love how the 'read the page' changed to 'oh my god'
My guy is now on the government watchlist 😂😂😂
13:00 ohhh imm soo stikee
I died laughing at this bro
@CalculatorVentsohhhh soupur stikeee
@hellcat_lover14lol
"is spectrum down?" is the grass green ah question
Real (it literally can’t go a week without issues)
had this on in the background while composing for my comp lesson later and i was NOT expecting to hear a midi file not from my computer 😭😭😭 scared the shit out of me
1:20 the hand signals where so helpful. Thanks!
Fun fact:
1. The MacOS desktop codes can be found in BSD codes because Apple actually invest in the coding of BSD (BSD is the sister of Linux) which it's probably there they got the codes.
2. That is apparently people discovering that Half-Life actually run on that OS, like C&C games but not Starcraft.
3:44 that is red star but dead star is also right 🤣
For a minute there I thought I was watching a new Bringus video.
0:35 lol a stick of celery
i should install red star os on my smasnug netbook
Great idea! Don't get abducted!
