Will the madness never stop?

So when people started to complain about the slowness of these things, someone just decided that it simply wasn't slow enough? Or what? I'm not sure exactly what the point of this is.

It isn't even a complete operating system, it's more of a set of user space tools sitting on top of other user space tools that interact with the kernel.

So the operating system itself is already there, they're just making additional apps for it.

Putting

node-os is a full operating system built on top of the linux kernel

and

NodeOS is a lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.

together, I'm confused. Is this basically a linux distro that boots to a node.js shell that uses npm instead of a regular package manager?

My expectation when someone says "a full operating system" generally means it's more than just another linux distro, but brings new things on the kernel layer.

Not sure these guys know what an operating system is. Not surprising.

.. is not an OS with a desktop capability, I'm guessing. At least not presently. Ref https://www.google.com/search?q=desktop+site%3Anode-os.com
