gollark: You have nice stuff like the ability to run `RightCtrl+S` to disable/enable running (in-sandbox) startup thanks to that sandboxing.
gollark: PotatOS applies sandboxing; if it were not for that, OneOS would overwrite potatOS.
gollark: Well, hardly.
gollark: Installing potatOS within OneOS will overwrite OneOS with potatOS; installing OneOS within potatOS will be fine.
gollark: CraftOS is installed by default.
