I’m keeping the DM inbox warm for you.
To answer some of the questions you asked here now:
- How much setup is needed: exactly zero. There are a couple different runtimes in the works right now, but with the C runtime it’s literally just getting a hold of the compiled binary and running it. There are zero host machine dependencies
- How do you boot into it: **for now** “you don’t” (boot INTO it). You interact with it via the CLI or more robustly via the browser (either on the host machine or over HTTP from a remote machine, if you’re using the web server aspects). For the moment, the easiest way to create UIs is via standard web stack, and we have a number of examples of that (group chat, image board, S3 bucket, a MUD with randomly-generated maps, etc. etc.) Working with native graphics is a consideration, but we’re more interested ultimately with running our OS natively on devices - starting off something like an Android fork and going from there (the nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h is a good mental model. basically a new device type category).
