Well, the title may seem a little click baity but to be honest, I needed this. Actually I loved to this for a few reasons. First I saw how most of the proprietary operating systems are coming with AI tools and second, I though to myself that the tools I develop for this distro, can be delivered to all Linux users world wide and there will be no need of a specific distribution for using them.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I introduce The Intelligent Operating System to you

Desktop Environment


Details

Well since you may have questions about me and more details, I am a 28 years old entrepreneur and my company is an AI company. Unlike most of today's companies, I'm not wrap a reactjs interface around OpenAI type of entrepreneur and I mostly use open source models such as Stable Diffusion and Mistral for a better control over my data and a better protection for my users' data.

But you want to know more about TiOS? Fine! Let's go!

The name: Okay, as Deadpool says that's just lazy writing. But honestly I thought a lot about names and I couldn't come up with a better name. This name basically came to me. It's simple and it tells the user what the operating system does. Also, there are no problems in pronunciation and different meanings in the different spots of the world (Although I refer to this as tai o s, it may be confused with an operating system from Thailand and it is fine I guess).

The base: In recent weeks I literally spammed reddit with my questions about Gentoo, openSUSE and LFS. I wanted to see the potentials of those distributions for being a base. I also had a lot of experiences with Debian and Ubuntu. After literally months of thinking and studying, I chose Ubuntu as the base. To be honest I had to take pages from Mint's book and learn how they are one of the most awesome projects out there and they stood on shoulders of a giant like Ubuntu.
TL/DR: It's Ubuntu based!

The desktop environment: Well it's Unity. I loved Unity, and since Ubuntu has the official unity flavor, I guess it can be a reliable choice. Of course, we'll embrace Unity Lenses as well.

And there is more, two of my friends worked on a fork of SearxNG called Moa (which you can find here) and that's gonna be the default search engine of TiOS 😁
And here is a screenshot of this:


AI Apps

Since they're under development, I prefer to update you on them when they're ready.

Questions?

Well, I am here for you guys. Ask me anything about the project and I will answer.

how is it more intelligent than a "usual" debian, slackware or any other distro? By the way, I hate pseudo-intelligent software that tries to guess my thoughts and always fails.

Just another Ubuntu Spin....

Maybe try using AI to produce the source code for the OS....

Well, it'll be packed with our products as apps, which you'll be able to install on your own system as well. Our essential product for now is an image generator (the pixel art wallpaper is made by that) and we also developed quite a few language models. These will be integrated to the OS and you'll have some sort of copilot on your OS. Again, as I said I personally am looking after releasing all the stuff as standalone packages so no one will have to install TiOS specifically.

The fact that Ubuntu is easy to re-master and spin is basically what made me use that as the base.
Everything aside, I tried to make a simple 16 bit OS using ChatGPT, Claude and Mixtral, and all 3 failed, epically. I guess because there are not much OS source code pages on the web you can crawl, eh? Because all work perfectly on more common coding stuff such as Python for a quick ReST API or jQuery for making an authentication to the server.

Do you remember that paperclip?

Nevermind...

Q. "how do i scan an external usb drive in Windows 10?"

Copilot and Moa both suggest approaches based on this.

The easiest option is to open File Explorer, select the drive and right click to select "Scan with Windows Defender".

Loving that Desktop Environment screen snapshot. The twilight is glowing red, the stars are out, the planes have no jet trails, the chimneys do not smoke, no cars in the streets and no people on the pavement. Maybe they were fried from the lack of trees.

Fun requires humanity. Professional comedians have demonstrated that AIs write bad jokes. Journalists have been caught out for using AI to write bad copy. I suspect the technology will be like nuclear fusion, always a mere twenty years away from being successful.

First, I'm not personally involved in Moa and to my knowledge they still haven't added AI to the mix (actually, they're waiting for their super lazy friend aka me to train a small text summerization model on his GPUs). It is still just a search engine based on SearxNG and in my point of view, it is cool.

Second, the desktop background was made really fast with the product of my company (an AI image generation model based on Stable Diffusion and Meta's EMU method of training) and I haven't put any effort in prompting honestly. It can make much better and more human images, I promise.

About "Fun" part, I agree, but people out there are really seem to be excited about a square shaped iPod Touch powered by ChatGPT's API!

Well, it is a long time I haven't updated this thread, but maybe in a few days, I release a demo ISO you can test.
