- ReactiveJelly 4y agoIf _accessing_ the filesystem counts toward being an OS, and not _implementing_ the filesystem, then I guess Qt and the stdlib of every lang is also "kind of an OS"
- selfhoster11 4y agoThat's splitting hairs. Paravirtualised IO on a virtual machine doesn't make the guest OS running inside it, any less of an OS just because it has a simpler interface to the outside world than a SATA/SAS/NVMe controller.
