Is anyone here using this? What do you make if it?

not that open - I tried to run rm -rf in the terminal and it did nothing.

from what I understand it's not bash, it's a shell made for puter

Okay this is awesome. But what is it for? What's the usecase?

The real question is, will it run Doom? That's all the justification any device or platform needs.

Edit: Silly question...

True, but it doesn't have a display 🙂

It looks a bit like eyeOS (once open source but turned into closed source). Maybe it can be used between a few users to share files and share apps.

Eyeos was awesome back in the day, we hosted it on our own space so we could access it from school

This is basically just a skeuomorph.
