Object-oriented OS with many features of popular niche Linux distributions

AnonymOS is an object-oriented operating system that combines features from popular niche Linux distributions. It aims to provide a unique, modular approach to OS design and functionality.

Background

- This is a GitHub repository for "anonymOS," an object-oriented operating system project by Jonathan R. Anderson that claims to incorporate features from niche Linux distributions. - Object-oriented operating systems are experimental OS designs that organize system resources (files, processes, devices) as "objects" with methods and properties — inspired by ideas from 1980s and 1990s research (e.g., MIT's exokernel, Microsoft's Singularity, or IBM's OS/400) — rather than the traditional Unix model of flat files and processes. - The project appears to be a personal, likely hobbyist or research-oriented endeavor, not a major production OS. Its GitHub presence suggests it is open-source, though it likely targets developers and OS enthusiasts rather than general users.
