@mcc it seems so obvious and so doable.

i do have a slightly grander additional goal though: i also want to figure out how to make this os have decent security. an os that is designed to let you download and run random exe's from the internet is great in many ways but not in security, at least not by default. but i have some ideas. i would want the user to be in full control of this though!

@hikari it seems like there are lots of sandboxing options that have never been seriously explored in industry because the people who control the sandboxes on consumer devices have a greater interest in limiting what the users do than in allowing the users to do a broader range of things safely
