Linux distribution experiment where all user data (/home) is loaded from a model

Distro boots to a custom Vulkan based, GPU accelerated browser; like a game engine or blender where the controls/parameters are hidden and updates are driven by AI given a prompt

Am using BPF and sched_ext to manage a bunch of the usual behind the scenes telemetry and observability and inform the AI which responds by tweaking run state

So / and /root and /usr, the other POSIX paths exist but instead of /home it's an encoded binary model.

No unique users relative to the OS, but while I run everything as root the AI protects the model unless given the appropriate secret.

Not perfect security by any means but this is an experiment above all not a production system
