@piranna Haha, I mean, for what it's worth, and assuming this project is production ready, I would prefer arch linux over this OS, but would prefer this OS over all else (*Buntu, RHEL), especially windows, and I could justify paying windows licensing prices for this OS (again, assuming the project is ready), where I can't justify paying that for windows itself.

As for use cases, I could see myself running this on all of my servers (their all nodejs anyway). and I can see a really good use case with my client portals, which, rather than have it being one server to handle all clients, I could fire up a NodeOS vm for each one. Having each client portal be a different server OS would allow me to manage them easier (say I need to move hardware, I can copy the vm image and fire it up, rather than copy the project + wait for installs + wait for compiles). Also, I can see this project being huge in containerization, as currently its not a trivial process to get node on the cloud (set up linux container, hope you have ssh access to install node + packages, or use a prebuilt and try to figure out that particular services method of installation), where with this package, all of that extra non-sense just for a (most likely) express server is avoided.

Not to mention that using this OS would solve many cross-platform issues (I mean non-linux issues), such as certain packages on windows requiring the Gigabytes of VisualStupidity just to install, where the same toolchain on linux is mere megabytes, and, assuming this is available as a container, one could have the container locally, develop there, then just deploy the container. Sorry if that's a bit much (and a bit all over the place), but I see huge potential in this project (and I've been following it for quite some time), and really am excited to see it completed.

And as for my (bad) joke, windows licenses are about $100 for some basics, and to me, that's just ridiculous, as windows is such a poorly designed OS (in my opinion), and I would much rather use that $100 to support a unique, high potential project like this one.

BTW: Good show on this project, I'll be glad to help out any way you need (that I can)

Is nodeOS an abandonned project? #441
