I think the title and the main page are <i>really bad</i> at explaining what IncludeOS actually is. The author probably is trying to impress readers too much.<p>The thing is, this is something called “unikernel[1]”, which basically can be linked directly into your application. With this, you just boot into your application instead of general-purpose OS like Linux. IIRC, it’s even possible to this on top of another OS. This comes with a lot of benefits, but with a lot of caveats, too.<p>[1]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel</a>
