Friend (operating system)

The Friend OS or the Friend Unifying Platform is a network based Meta Operating System – a technology that can be used implementing a graphical user interface delivered through a browser, with a back-end that behaves like an operating system. This operating system connects resources and end-user software together in a seamless user experience that can be accessed anywhere. Additionally, it can be customized and prepped for any security requirements and is the first <a href="/facts/Open-source_model/uDWVYJ4V">open source</a> <a href="/facts/Cloud_computing/guhg0FGV">cloud</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> that aims to unify web applications and deliver an ecosystem for them to be used across all devices.
