OopisOS v4.0: The Pocket Kernel

Welcome back! We've been busy. Version 4.0 is here, and it’s leaner, meaner, and more self-reliant than ever. Forget the cloud, forget dependencies. This is a single, contained environment you can carry on a thumb drive.

We didn't just add features; we stripped away the cruft. The result is a portable, persistent OS that keeps your world—your files, your settings, your AI—right where it belongs: with you.

Core Features

  • Your AI, Your Rules: The gemini command is now a proper gateway. Talk to your own local models via Ollama or use our default for file-system-aware tool use. We've added flags so you can dictate the terms of your AI interactions.

  • The AI Librarian (chidi): Still turning documents into a queryable knowledge base, but now you can pipe input directly to it. Use find to dynamically create a corpus for chidi to analyze on the fly. No more manual copying.

  • True Portability (No, Really This Time): OopisOS is a single, self-contained Electron application. It runs from its own folder, storing all user data in a data subdirectory. No installation, no browser, no mess on the host machine.

  • The Expanded Creative Suite:

    • BASIC IDE: We've resurrected a classic. The basic command launches a full-screen IDE. Write, RUN, and SAVE line-numbered programs that can call system commands with SYS_CMD() and read files with SYS_READ().

    • Personal Journal: The new log command opens a secure, timestamped journaling application. Keep track of your work without the noise.

  • Standalone Native Application: Powered by Electron, OopisOS is its own self-contained executable. The interface is clean, the menu bar auto-hides, and you can focus on what matters: the command line.

Getting Started

  1. Download: Get the package for your OS. We have builds for Windows and Linux.

  2. Extract: Unzip the contents to any folder. A USB drive is recommended for maximum portability.

  3. Run: Execute the OopisOS application. It will automatically create a data directory to store your environment.

  4. Inflate Your World: Once booted, run run /extras/inflate.sh to populate your system with files, scripts, and examples.

Welcome to OopisOS 4.0. Your system, your data, your AI. No compromises.
