SBOS is not a Linux distribution, a Windows clone, or a full virtual machine for every application. Earlier Linux-based work belongs to the prototype and research period. Current SBOS is a proprietary operating system with its own kernel, filesystem, userland, application model, compatibility systems, and administration services.
When an application opens, SBOS identifies what it is, prepares the environment it needs, applies policy, starts it, and keeps lifecycle state for repair, reset, updates, diagnostics, movement, removal, and recovery.
