FruitOS is a live Linux operating system (Arch-based, boots with GRUB) powered by a real fruit fly brain: 165,122 neurons you can watch, talk to and learn from. Boot it from a USB stick, no install needed, completely offline.

Features

  • Live, bootable Arch Linux ISO with GRUB (UEFI and legacy BIOS)
  • Watch and talk to a simulated 165,122-neuron fruit fly brain
  • Fully offline: no account, no internet, no AI service
  • Brain capped at half a CPU core so the desktop stays responsive
  • Scientific model notes for synapse strength and spike adaptation
