Oh I’m so glad someone has already started working on something like this. This has been one of my biggest concerns for a while

Edit: Are there any easy entry points to this ecosystem for people interested in the concept but not familiar with the details? Like a competition to see who can get this up and running some set program the fastest on microprocessors found in the trash/recycling? Or what’s the most unexpected device people can get this running on?

The rationale is silly, but the project itself looks interesting. No need to tie it in to civilization collapse though, an odd marketing angle really.

Yeah, this is an interesting project, but the author's belief that society is going to completely collapse by 2030 is... odd.

I too was losing sleep over the tought that we would only have TempleOS after a catastrophic collapse of civilzation.

> Dusk OS doesn't have users, but operators. What's the difference? Control. You use a phone, you use a coffee machine, hell you even use a car these days. But you operate a bulldozer, you operate a crane, you operate a plane. You use Linux, you use Windows. You operate Dusk OS.

There’s something I adore about the aesthetic of this project and how this is written. I’ll probably never run the code myself, but I’d watch this show on Netflix in a heartbeat.

If society doesn't collapse by 2030, who's harmed by this project existing?

And if you're going to pick a date, why one over another?

+7 years seems a reasonable goal to make progress towards
