What is lemOS?

Obviously this is a website, and the entirety of the navigation is based upon images and text – to maintain backward compatibility with older devices to visit and thematic continuity. Due to the structure and navigation of this website, it increasingly functions more like an OS with many changes (albeit, a very very basic file browser at best). “lemOS” is tongue-in-cheek for calling this website an OS, in-line with how we focus on Macs and their operating systems. It just makes sense to keep up with all changes like this.
