	tl;dr: A browser-based game (also available as a desktop app via Python) that puts you in the role of an OS, requiring you to juggle process scheduling, memory allocation, and I/O events before impatient users reboot you. Built in Python with a web version and sandbox/automation modes for development, it's open source under GPLv3. Playable at https://plbrault.github.io/youre-the-os or on itch.io.
	HN Discussion: ~Suggests enhancements like roguelike mechanics or scriptable scheduling to improve gameplay depth ↓Found the gameplay tedious or unfun despite liking the concept ~Reminded of similar prior projects like psDooM, suggesting this is less novel/exciting •Adds historical or cultural context (OS origins, Tron references) without judging the game ↓Rejects the premise entirely, finding being an OS an inherently unfun game concept
