  IMHO, for effective computing in the Internet era, we should not be depending on classical OS or application centric but data-centric. Otherwise it will be always a mismatched of abstraction between OS and application. In this case a web OS inside a classical OS, remember webOS anyone [1]? This should a new data-centric OS similar to TabulaROSA in concept where data is managed and governed by mathematical relationship in this case associative array based D4M [2],[3]. This concept can be implemented initially on Linux, since now Linux support generic non-conventional kernel bypass for memory, storage and compute with io_uring and eBPF, for examples [4].
