Background: Red Star OS is a Linux operating system built in North Korea. It is quite possibly the strictest computer software out there as it watermarks digital files saved with a USB stick and SD card with their logo, they use this so they can disable Western media from entering the country itself. It encrypts files so no change can be done to the browser itself, and whenever you try to remove anything it will reboot itself and the deleted file will still be there.The earliest reported built of the system dates back to 2002.

(2013-)
Logo: Just the 6th macOS screen, but with the apple replaced with the Red Star logo.
FX/SFX: None, unless you count the loading circle.
Cheesy Factor: Did they seriously just steal from macOS? However it is most likely intentional, since the OS itself resembles that OS.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability:Seen when you boot up a Red Star OS 3.0 computer, these are only in North Korea and will probably never leave the country itself. However the system was leaked online by a Russian who was visiting the country, you can download it <a class="external" href="http://www.openingupnorthkorea.com/downloads-2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="here.">here.</a> But be warned though, its a 2.5 GB download!
Scare Factor:None, you'll just laugh at its cheapness and that it blandly stole macOS' 6th logo.
