Cortex Linux – AI-Native Operating System (Open Source)

https://github.com/cortexlinux/cortex
3•AIVH•3mo ago

Comments

AIVH•3mo ago
We're building Linux that understands natural language commands.

Example: "Install Oracle 23 AI with GPU acceleration" → System detects your hardware, installs correct CUDA version, configures everything, validates it works. Done in 5 minutes.

Problem: Developers waste 30% of their time fighting package managers and reading documentation.

Solution: Embed AI at the OS level. The system understands intent and optimizes for your hardware.

Open source, seeking contributors. We have 3 initial issues ready for PRs.

Tech stack: Ubuntu 24.04, Claude/GPT-4 for intent parsing, Firejail sandboxing, Python orchestration.

Feedback welcome - what would you want an AI-powered OS to handle?

> Installing complex software on Linux is broken

Agreed.

> The solution

> Cortex Linux embeds AI at the operating system level.

That is not the solution. Determinism is the goal; introducing AI will create more problems than it fixes.

AIVH•3mo ago
Valid concern about determinism. Let me clarify:

The AI layer translates intent → deterministic commands. It doesn't execute randomly.

Example workflow: 1. User: "install docker with nvidia support" 2. AI generates: ["apt update", "apt install docker.io", "apt install nvidia-docker2"] 3. Sandbox validates commands against whitelist 4. Execute deterministically 5. Verify installation

The AI is the interface layer, not the execution layer. Commands are reproducible and auditable.

We're also building dry-run mode so users can review before execution.

Think of it like: AI = smart man page reader, not autonomous agent making random decisions.

Open to feedback on making this more deterministic. What would make you more comfortable with the approach?

AIVH•3mo ago
Update (12 hours in):

We now have working code! Three PRs merged:

- AI command interpreter with Claude/GPT-4 support - Sandboxed execution engine with security controls - Hardware profiling system (CPU/GPU/RAM detection)

Phase 1 is 60% complete already. The open source community is amazing.

Just posted 10 new issues with bounties ($25-100): github.com/cortexlinux/cortex/issues

Huge thanks to dhvil and Sahilbhatane for the excellent work.

Looking for more contributors - especially for package manager integration and CLI interface.
