Santuchi

**Santuchi** is a Paraguayan mockup creator known for his operating system mockups and the creator & former owner of the original wiki with its original URL prior to its deletion. **Strangefin** is used as an identity for his operating system mockups channel as to dissociate from said topic, although many things still resemble the original identity such as maintenance on many of the older episodes.

He would be credited as a pioneer of the BIOS mockups genre being one of this his few mockups.

## History

### Pre-Windows Never Released (2014-2016)

Santiago Cabrera, known for alias "Santuchi" was born in January 3rd, 2005. He would make his first Windows Never Released mockup known as "Windows Roverty" for his love to computers and also for his cousin who had this in his mind prior to 2014, being this just as a mere parody, other remarkable mockups would be made prior to the era of Windows Never Released as a video series, being in a list in 2015 "Windows 10 Omega Edition" & "Windows Zune XP8.1" being a version of Windows 8.1 with the style of Windows XP's Zune Theme and a year later in 2016 mockups like "Windows Santuchi" being this the earliest iteration prior to MinderiaOSM remaking Windows Santuchi & one of the rescued media, being Windows Minecraft History, one of the many things Windows Never Released 1 from Santuchi could have been.

### Windows Never Released: Public Origins (2016-2018)

Santuchi uploads in December 17th of 2016 his first Windows Never Released video, being a three part video series, but eventually as of Late-2017 it would be renamed as a "Pilot Episode", followed by a second part which would be later renamed as "Final Beta Release" and later in December 27th of 2016, Santuchi would upload Windows Never Released as in the main numbered series of his channel being the first episode on the numbered series, continuing later on his path to Windows Never Released in 2017, which success would follow by making Never Released Operating Systems (named by Santuchi as "Never Released OSes" for abbreviation) somewhere in the middle of 2017 starting as a separate series as a first episode.

As of 2017, Santuchi would open a Discord account (currently deleted) to get in touch with the Windows Never Released community entering Minderia Chat and making his first server later on, in which his first traditional mockup made in Photoshop would be made (currently lost media). His first episode without the use or little use of Minderia's assets would be published in 2018 as the 63rd episode, reaching its final in Episode 72nd before departure from the OSM hobby for a while in the pursue of making a new career based in gaming content, which would fail and result to return into a new channel, that was previously made in December 14th, 2017. This time Santuchi retakes back with Windows Never Released 1, being the first but also the last video in the series for the rest of the year having moved and abandoned the channel with barely 26 subscribers, but not without an April Fools video of a fake 73rd episode of the non-reboot Windows Never Released series.

### The 2nd beginning (2019-2022)

Santuchi, lurking in the community finally uploads his second Windows Never Released episode, marking this the return and a new beginning on the channel's series. Featuring Minderian mockups with a complete new style & major improvements over the previous Windows Never Released 1. This would go on for the rest of the year, having uploaded Windows Never Released 3, featuring Splatoon's in-universe timeline for Windows Never Released, and further on with Windows Never Released 4, 5 & 6 being the last one of 2019. And a scrapped Windows History with Future Versions video that was planned to go live in 2020 for the finished version, but was never finished, and the original screens in original resolution potentially lost.

Windows Never Released 7 would be released in 2020 as a slideshow featuring the song "Geographer" by Jay Sweeps, this became the only first serious mockup video that would be released in that said year, followed by Windows Never Released 7.5, being the first public video making fun out of MinderiaYouTuber and his operating system mockup content due to internal conflicts he was facing on Discord & the OSM community itself, later followed by a video explaining why he's not making anymore WNR videos and when he's going to return into the scene.

Followed by next year, Santuchi teases his 8th installment of his Windows Never Released series, this time incorporating Never Released Operating Systems and renaming the series as **Operating System Mockups**, in a similar fashion to french OSM creator ChromaticAeternus where the episode numbers resume from the series with the most episodes, being the one Windows Never Released and for March 27th of 2021, a teaser trailer of what would eventually be the intro for Operating System Mockups 8 and a publish date for April 4th would finally be published on YouTube, but not without having 3 days prior to the actual episode an April Fools video of Windows Never Released 8th episode. The success of Operating System Mockups 8 would lead into tease the next episode, originally meant for July of 2021. But delayed for September 21st of 2021 and having renamed the channel from SantuchiOSM to StrangefinOSM. Operating System Mockups 10, 11 & 11.5 would follow next being the last mockup of 2021 and the first of 2022 as "Windows 2022", styled on a similar fashion to Minderia's Windows 2020 & Windows 2030.

Following 2022, Santuchi would publish an April Fools video named "Operating System Mockups 11: Extended Edition" being its logo a mockery of an unlisted intro uploaded by former OSM creator Nerm/Nelly (formerly NermalCat79) and also mocking Spyonclear's complaints on Discord about OSM 11 & 11.5 not being long enough, the video would be longer, but with Minderian mockups to fill it. Spin-off episodes like Operating System Mockups 11.6 & 11.999999999 would follow next into making joke mockups almost like a new thing for the Strangefin channel, this would be disrupted later by the publishing of Operating System Mockups 12 with serious mockups only featuring Windows mockups.

### Hiatus/Retirement Phase (2023-)

Before channel hiatus and retirement from the OSM community, an April Fools video would be posted featuring a fake bootscreen of a beta of Windows 12 with a sound made by RDesign used in Operating System Mockups 50 slowly descending down in pitch shift until it meets a blue screen of death featuring the theme used in Seinfeld, the "Oopsie Whoopsie" meme with censors applied to the swearing words, the Bruh sound effect, a suspense piano sound used in many videos of Suspense & Horror YouTuber DrossRotzank, the vine boom sound effect, the theme "The Town Inside Me" from Guilty Gear: Strive for character Bridget, a bass boosted sound effect & a laughing person saying "Hahahaha What the f--k?"

Two months later on August, Santuchi leaves Discord and deactivates his account, to be deleted in September, leaving the OSM community on Discord definitely, his account would be closed in coming month of September, but not before having left a resign notice from Chromatic's Discord server Chromaverse as staff team member on June 6th, he would continue his activity on the YouTube channel WSOD, where people like Skyzi & LineHotBall contribute together to bring remakes of Minderian videos and sometimes Operating System Mockup videos.

## Controversies

### Transphobic Joke

Santuchi would post in 2020 on Twitter replying to a certain retired OSM creator after coming out as trans with the following message "Wait, are you a girl or is this a joke?", this would cause outrage as the creator claims it was never done with intention of "emotionally hurt" anyone and left without any sort of apology, this would calm down until The Mockup Server (The Blueberry Hub) would be raided in 2021 due to alleging continuation of repeated cursing behavior towards the retired OSM creator in specific, the raid consisted from memes and mass-pings to Santuchi, and calling out certain users for use of mean words despite the messages being 1-2 years old.
