it is established yospos lore that Pittsburgh is the best city in these great United States. one issue though. it doesn't have its own os. Seattle has Windows. Cupertino has OS X. a literal shithole has Ubuntu. yet Pittsburgh is left out of this fun.

i think we, the intelligent and bright, minds of yospos should correct this failure. just throwing out some ideas on possible features:

t-based data transfer. sure you bits might commingle with the wrong sorts of other bits but it will get where it's supposed to go

hundreds of partitions: your data is completely secure. the OS will randomly divide it into small partitions that will use processor without feeding back into the greater system

once we have some more ideas I'll start the wiki. open for any more suggestions and coding help. I'm really more of an ideas and money man.

The Steelr OS is based on the concept of security rings. Six of them. Kiss them, bitch.

user levels are yinzer, garfielder, and pirate. yinzer is obv the admin level account. you can know the os like the back of your hand and can abuse it like rothlesburger abuses women. garfielders don't get access to the t data transfer, but can use resources from other steelr computers without paying for it. pirate level always seems liek this is the year they'll be able to do things but then collapse during the late summer

Any attempt to rename "pop.exe" to "soda.exe" crashes the OS and revokes all user permissions.

Tunneling is a built-in feature, but long-time users of the OS don't like to use it much.
