Tidlost's hipster rival would be...Sun Inc.'s...OSK closed kernel, used in the AX? Alf X? OS.
x64 would be the dominant PC architecture, I guess. We can go with ARM for mobile devices, cause why not.
For the record, JellyOS is not our android. It's more of our IPhone. And even then, an obscure IPhone outside Kvaenna/west Brigidna. Our Android'd be...Hubble's Android? I'm not opposed to just leaving that the same too. Unless someone can come up with a more badass name.
Major Nyland-based CPU manufacturers could be the Athena Corp (intel), and ADM (AMD).
Did I miss anything?
I'm not against having two big processor companies from Nyland, but could we please have the CPU architecture be something that is licensed to any company that wants it? That way, people can start making their own CPU companies if they want to and then not have to worry about it not being compatible with software. Not to mention it sets us apart from RL.
And I would very much prefer to change things up from RL.
Which means I would very much prefer to have a single, open-source kernel that most OS's are based off of. Let's say that UNIX actually took off here. For the record, this doesn't mean that companies can't have their own completely original kernels or that there wouldn't be smaller kernels out there - it just means the dominant kernel would be our UNIX.
PS - Unix and Linux are NOT the same thing. Unix is a kernel and family of OS's. Linux is also a kernel and family of OS's, but while Linux was based off of Unix they are NOT the same. Fun fact - Apple's macOS is also based off of Unix, though Apple has their own derivatives of Unix that they use.
