Yeh. I guess the current computing model of today is more that everyone has a high powered computer in their pocket these days. So many people I know don't have a desktop anymore. might have a laptop if working in tech. some still enjoy tinkering with all sorts of technology. I even work with someone whos only device is their work laptop, which they leave at work. some parts of me envy that as I sometimes think I'm _too_ attached to technology lol

Thank you very much. I too like the idea of everything is a file, and that the unix network model is kinda bolted on to act like a file, but with very different interfaces.
For context I have a hobby operating system, and I like hearing what others find good in less common systems.
