AI vibe-coded operating system is so bad it can't even run Doom — Vib-OS can't connect to the internet, browser app is an image viewer [Updated]

Testing Vib-OS.

Update: 12.51 EST: The developer of Vib-OS, viralcode, has reached out to say that the video concentrated on "x86 64, which is buggy and mentioned in readme." It is further suggested the content of the video was largely negative "just to get views." If readers want to test out Vib-OS properly "QEMU in Mac is the best place to run it without bugs," encourages the developer.

A new vibe-coded operating system was found to be a woeful attempt at building a PC operating system. This revelation comes via TechTuber Tirimid, who put an AI-coded OS through his regular set of nine quality checks. Unfortunately, Vib-OS v2.2.1 - Multi-Architecture OS with Full GUI, was found to be difficult to set up, and was stuffed with a mix of serious and/or weird bugs. Even some of its headlining features, like running Doom, simply didn’t work, as evidenced by the video embedded below.
