FairOS is a project being done under the banner of [Fair Data Society](https://fairdatasociety.org/) (FDS). ### What is FairOS -Think of Internet as a big computer, FairOS is poised to be the de-centralised OS that manages the resources of the computers in its network, like storage and compute. The nodes that run FairOS will be part of the global network that will run applications which can make use of the storage and compute that is available. It consists of two layers, namely FairOS-dfs (storage) and FairOS-compute (compute). +If we think of the Internet as a big computer, FairOS is poised to be the de-centralised OS that manages the resources of the computers in its network, much like storage and compute. The nodes that run FairOS will be part of the global network that will run applications which can make use of the storage and compute that is available. It consists of two layers, namely FairOS-dfs (storage) and FairOS-compute (compute). ### Why FairOS? -FairOS is designed so that a user can run Apps/Dapps over the internet (like any cloud application) but still own and control all his data. Both data and compute are de-centralised, censorship resistant and follow the blueprint of web 3.0 and [fair data principles](https://principles.fairdatasociety.org/). Since all the data of a user is stored in a single logical place, data can be shared between the applications. It's like having all the benefits of running an application in a cloud, but the user has absolute control over his data. +FairOS is designed so that users can run Apps/dApps over the internet (like any cloud application) but still own and control all their data.

If a developer moves from web 2.0 to web 3.0, FairOS-dfs will make sure he feels at home by providing similar storage tools that he/she is used to in web 2.0. +Also, FairOS-dfs makes building a dApp on top of it easier by exposing File System and Database like constructs.

On top of that, it builds other storage business logic, to expose things needed for an application to run. Think of Swarm as the device driver of the hard disk inside your laptop and FairOs-dfs as the Ext4 file system and other databases that run on top of it, except that FairOS-dfs does this for a group of computers instead of one. @@ -35,13 +35,13 @@ Yes. [Fairdrive](https://fairdrive.fairdatasociety.org/) is a live and kicking D And many more apps are being developed using FairOS-dfs, to give just a few examples: [Photo viewer](https://app.photo.fairdatasociety.org/), [Dracula markdown editor](https://app.dracula.fairdatasociety.org/). ### API Reference -To learn more about how to get the most out of FairOS, head over to the [tutorials](/docs/getting-started/upload-and-download) section to find out how to create logical drives to store data, share file with your friends, Use a data store like Key Value Database or Document Database, and much much more... +To learn more about how to get the most out of FairOS, head over to the [tutorials](/docs/getting-started/upload-and-download) section to find out how to create logical drives to store data, share files with your friends, use data stores like Key Value Databases or Document Databases, and much much more... ### Development -We'd love you to join us! Are you up to the challenge of helping us to create FairOS and the other incredible technologies we're building on top of it? You are invited to contribute code to the FairOS-dfs or build any other Dapp on using it. +We'd love you to join us!
