3/10 needs more crypto

> Sealos is an AI-native Cloud Operating System built on Kubernetes

I am once again asking for a moratorium on calling something an "operating system" unless it is an actual operating system

it runs on k8s. k8s runs on Linux. Linux is the operating system.

I get that it's tempting to call yourself an "operating system" as a way of signalling "we have big ambitions, bigger than a library, bigger than a framework, bigger than a platform..."

but...just stop. it's annoying and misleading. your GitHub repo is 60% TypeScript. you built a fancy GUI frontend to k8s.

It looks interesting but the development seems to crease. Last release 2025 and the issues are stalling. No good signs.

Who's the target market for this?

Feels like some company who has zero trust in its developers, would roll out these. And that's your env.

I'm a bit out of the loop so I'm not sure this might already be a thing on AWS.

so good it mentions "cloud" twice!

cloud²?

Very overcast in here (double 'Cloud' in title)

If Buzzword bingo evolved into an abandonware operating system.

This is all my personal hells in one place.
