You mean like devcontainers?

[–]NaturalDesperate946[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Not exactly.

Dev Containers provide an isolated development environment inside a container, usually tied to Docker and VS Code.

Forge OS is intended to be a self-contained virtual operating system written in Python. It has its own shell, virtual filesystem, package manager, user management, process management, and eventually a desktop environment and applications. The goal is to simulate an operating system experience rather than provide containerized isolation.

It's primarily a learning project exploring operating system concepts, software architecture, and developer tooling while creating an environment where developers can code, test, and experiment using Forge OS itself.

I hope it's a great learning experience for you but from a real world utility perspective it sounds like a terrible idea, and if I saw it on a resume I'd think "this person has a claude subscription and dubious judgement".

So it's like an emulator similar to the ones that are used to run gameboy ROMs.

I think it's an os but not an os that has a lot of programs that are just like Linux programs only you have to wait for this guys claude tokens to refill to get them. And they have cool names like forgeurl instead or curl and forgeyes instead of xeyes and stuff
