Is ruOS right for you?
A good fit for
Developers exploring a shared computer environment that agents can inspect and operate through an MCP client.
Before you choose
Lite availability should not be confused with full Linux desktop entitlement. The full offering uses early-access and account-assigned access; metered pricing and quotas were not established. Computer-control permissions need review before consequential tasks.
How to use ruOS
Try the available Lite experience and confirm which desktop entitlement your account has. Connect only the intended MCP client, start with a read-only screen inspection and grant the least action access needed. Review code, shell changes and browser actions before permitting consequential steps.
Costs and practical limits
The page advertises a free Lite experience but says ChatGPT access uses desktops and metered entitlements already assigned to the account. It does not establish current subscription, checkout or credit pricing. Confirm persistent storage, model access and full desktop limits before planning production use.
