You cant decentralise everything. You can make it open source though.

Has anyone thought about something like this? Anyone currently working on this? I am curious to hear the pieces you all might think goes into something like a decentralized OS.

How is it supposed to work? File system in one computer, drivers on another, network management on a 3rd machine?  Cheesy

Do you perhaps mean decentralized filesystem or sharing cpu/gpu power? yes this stuff exists. For example, HDFS.


I wonder if cloud storage/backups counts.

Why decentralize an OS when you can centralize it on your ultimate 1337 hardcore gaming rig?

Has anyone though about a decentralised burglar alarm?

People probably have thought about decentralised operating systems, but probably only people who don't know how an operating system works.
haha..  I guess OP though about it too..! it would be nice if he had asked about a Open Source  Operating system which we have in form of Linux..!
