I'm building an open-source OS that can run Windows, Linux, and macOS apps together (looking for contributors)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an idea that I think a lot of us have been frustrated by at some point:

Why is software still locked into operating system silos?

Windows apps only run on Windows
Linux tools require Linux environments
macOS software is completely isolated

So I started building a project (working title: FusionOS) that aims to change that.

# The idea

A universal execution layer + OS where:

Windows, Linux, and macOS applications can run side-by-side
Environments are abstracted away from the user
Compatibility is handled at the system level

On top of that, I’m exploring a multi-agent architecture where:

Agents manage dependencies and environments
Tasks can be automated and optimized dynamically

# Current direction

Right now I’m in the early stage, exploring:

Binary translation / compatibility layers
Virtualization + container hybrids
Cross-platform system abstractions
Agent-based orchestration

# Why I’m posting here

This is obviously a hard systems problem, and I don’t want to build it alone.

I’m looking for people interested in:

OS dev / kernels
low-level systems (C/C++/Rust)
virtualization / compilers
or even just thinking about better abstractions

Even if you just want to discuss the idea or poke holes in it, that’s super valuable.
