    Kinds reminds me of digimon,megaman and other old digital/cyber focused cartoons, everyone kinda had their own custom os that they went around plugging into public computers. Getting passed down your fathers customized os sounds hilarious.

      Wouldn’t it be kind of insecure to be plugging your private data into public places?

      In theory, the publicly available terminals could very well have their own system under the hood, wired into the hardware, just so they can run some keylogging or recording of everything that goes through the peripherals, including the screen, without the plugged OS being able to know, right?

      The bad guys in those shows/games could have hijacked the terminals so they can take remote control of the inputs when an OS is inserted and wreak havoc. Dr. Wily could have messed with some terminals so that when Megaman saves its progress on them parts of his brain are saved with different data, so when it’s restored you’ll get a different/evil Megaman.

        You would have your own personal antivirus/virus ai that battles others to get stronger, if you lose they get your data lol
