Awful lot of vibe-coded small OSs lately.

That's great! I see it as a lot of people learning about a lot of cool stuff that interests them.

Just because AI was used doesn't mean that it wasn't valuable to that person as an experience, and that it's not also valuable to someone else.

I say good job on shipping a project!

It doesn't, because nothing has been released, and nothing will for months. However, since literally everything else in the author's Github account is from Claude, it's a fairly safe assumption that this is too.

I prefer MenuetOS with GPL sources.
