I studied Operating Systems in my CS studies for two years, so I’m quite familiar with the methodologies and the strict definitions that define a traditional OS. I’m not trying to redefine what an OS is in the academic sense. My intent is more about using the term as a metaphor to communicate what our product does—similar to how many technical terms are borrowed from the physical world.

You’re right that there’s a whole CS course on OS, and I respect that. But I believe it’s also okay to extend the concept in a practical way to help users understand what this product aims to offer, especially in today’s interconnected landscape.

It’s also good to note again that we're still at the early stages of this project. Hopefully by time the name makes more sense, or we might even change it entirely!
