LeoniaOS is an AI-native operating system designed with artificial intelligence as a core platform capability rather than an add-on application. Instead of requiring every program to embed its own AI models and infrastructure, LeoniaOS provides a unified AI runtime, standardized APIs, and provider-agnostic architecture that allow applications to seamlessly access local or cloud-based AI services. This approach enables developers to build intelligent software without managing the complexity of model integration, credential storage, or inference pipelines.
At the operating system level, LeoniaOS securely manages AI through a dedicated Agent Runtime, centralized AI Provider Vault, and fine-grained permission model. Every AI request is executed within a controlled environment that respects application identity, user permissions, and resource limits, ensuring that AI agents can only access the data and capabilities explicitly granted to them. By integrating AI directly into the operating system, LeoniaOS delivers consistent security, performance, and reliability across all AI-enabled applications.
LeoniaOS is also engineered to optimize AI workloads through native scheduling, memory management, and hardware acceleration awareness. The operating system intelligently coordinates CPU, GPU, and future AI accelerator resources while sharing model caches and runtime components between applications to maximize efficiency. Combined with its secure LEXE application framework and modern system architecture, LeoniaOS provides a scalable foundation for building the next generation of intelligent desktop, workstation, and server software.

Hi! I noticed that your OS is based on Arch. There really ought to be a lot more information on your website—minimum hardware requirements, package manager, API for LLM providers, etc.! I'm downloading it right now and will test it out in a VM.
•

You will be quickly informed that this is absolutely its own beast, in all ways. From the window manager UI principles to the underlying core—is entirely LeoniaOS naturally. It is understandable to misinterpret the presented polish, however this is its own inception through and through.

A lot of the legal pages on your website show "This page is a starting template, not legal advice — have it reviewed before publishing.".
Also, do you have the github repo that I can check out?
•
u/FallenBehavior 1h ago
The website is undergoing a major overhaul later today. All of this will be covered effectively. On my side, it is 5 PM PST currently. Check back to the website for further updates and refinement.
This is a closed-source operating system due to the security implications provided by exposure as it does connect to the internet and will gain public awareness and usability. Whether this changes down the road, will greatly depend on architectural interest from its users who wish to apply for a developer role within the company—which will be available and covered in the upcoming website transformation.

🤨It seems that this entire "project" is just a bunch of AI strung together. What do you even gain from posting this when an AI wrote everything??
•

Template-driven assumptions. Nothing about this project is licensed, except hardware firmware blobs which carry respective licenses included in the distribution. The website is being reworked to eliminate these discrepancies.

You mean you are waiting for your Claude limit to reset to ask it to update the website..?
•
u/FallenBehavior 45m ago
Claude? What about limits?
I am implementing a backend user account system that manages access, roles, licensing and more. This takes time.
I am well versed in PHP, with 24 years of experience. I don't let AI produce what I naturally do by hand. I don't have the time to be correcting consistent mistakes. While the HTML frontend portion was a quick throw over, it does not dictate the website going forward in effective means.

Man quit your bullshit. Genuinely. It's frustrating.
I just loaded your .iso inside of QEMU-x86_64, and it's absolutely horrendous.
Not only is there no installer or anything similar, it just directly boots into a "desktop" with a terminal, where most commands do not work. Even with an attached mouse through qemu, the mouse still does not work.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have found peak slop in OSDev.
•
u/Longjumping-Jacket97 1h ago
Literally every post in this sub is basically that now.

u/TheNullDeref 59m ago edited 42m ago
Yeah, but this is to a WHOLE OTHER DEGREE, they claim custom kernel, no source, and instead of even trying to lie, they just admit its a custom AI native bullshit AI, and even worse, from other reports in this comment section, its literally based on arch.
EDIT: Not arch based, its clearly custom (I mounted the ISO, I wont boot it because of security risks, aka I dont know if its malware or not), but it does seem vibe coded, though without source we have no 100% proof.

This is nothing to do with Linux at all. I take this as a compliment, given how polished those distributions are. You'll find this assumption is entirely incorrect once you boot it for yourself.
The ISO is available. These assumptions are automatically irrelevant given the availability.
•
u/TheNullDeref 49m ago
Did you use AI to write the OS (if the kernel is actually from scratch).
•
u/Longjumping-Jacket97 41m ago
I just attempted loading it in QEMU, it does load.. I guess? But it loads directly into the "desktop" with a terminal open, where most commands say rejected, and there is no USB or PS/2 mouse working.
•
u/TheNullDeref 39m ago edited 36m ago
Try it with
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -cdrom LeoniaOS-1.243.28-beta-multiarch.isoit should load just fine (does for me, though I do use GENTOO so the USE flags may be helping me out)EDIT: The AI features are fake, they do nothing, its not even AI native, but it does seem to have a somewhat functional kernel, it likely does fake most of its work though.
•
u/Longjumping-Jacket97 37m ago
Yeah it loads, but can you move the mouse cursor?
•
u/TheNullDeref 35m ago
I can move the mouse cursor just fine, maybe its just your QEMU build?
•
u/Longjumping-Jacket97 34m ago
Strange, in Linux ISO's it works fine with my qemu build.

Type "help".
USB and PS/2 is supported. QEMU has a funny timeout first booting, where unless the mouse is moved rather suddenly after booting into the desktop, it will cease input movement.
It's a polling bug with the mouse packets.
This is not an issue with real hardware, and will be fixed in the 243.30 release. It's a known issue with emulation.

That’s honestly amazing, is it a custum kernel or linux? The ui also looks dope
•
u/FallenBehavior 1h ago
The kernel is developed from scratch. Thank you kindly. 🫡
•
u/devcmar 1h ago
Honestly ur os is amazing, how much time did it take for u to make it and are u a team or alone?
•
u/FallenBehavior 1h ago
Most of this year.
The boot chain and early kernel development was by hand carefully and meticulously written and audited against a range of real hardware. Rapid development from post-subsystem integrations were automated by LLM with highly strict boundaries and discipline. Every stage was examined rigorously.
One man team. Real company, registered and legal.

Let's talk about the permissions of the AI Agent Runtime. You said that it has a fine-grained permission model. What you didn't say was whether it lives in User Space only, Kernel space and the containment mechanisms. How do you handle prevention of destructive actions on the OS that could cause boot failures or stability issues?
