The idea here is to fork ProxMox and LineageOS and merge them into one super easy to use OS that can be deployed on phones, laptops, computers, and servers.
The install process would be basically identical to the LineageOS install process, minus the google stuff, and with a QR code scanner so you an marry your new "node" to an existing setup if you've already got another "node" setup.
You can have a VERY small kernel of an OS that only really abstracts the CPU and ram, and some very limited networking.
Then you can have this tiny kernel load other OSes as virtual processes. This is how VMware works, other hypervisors.
When you operate hardware like this, you an group numerous disparate systems together as one "super" computer.
This is called a cluster. This is how I run servers for my clients and datacenters.
There are numerous advantages to this methodology: And the biggest advantage is reliability.
Even if an entire physical computer goes down (CPU, PSU, HD, RAM, whatever....), the other physical computers in the cluster will just take over and continue to run the essential processes (virtualized OSes, essential apps, etc..).
The other big advantage, is that you can have your cluster operate as a monolithic virtual machine with incredible CPU/RAM etc..
So if you have two 64 core servers, with 256gb of ram, you can build a VM across the cluster that has 120 cores, and 500gb of ram.
Now imagine if we had an easy to use version of this for Android hardware.
You could have all your data and processes persistent across multiple hardware (tablets, phones, laptops, desktops). And you could also cluster them on the back end and utilize all of the CPUs and RAM of all your machines as one Super Computer.
This could also backup all of your data real time on all the different devices.
So you would have your own redundant super computer cloud without putting your data on a corporate or government controlled system that harvests your data and costs the public (or you directly) money.
