It wouldn't run DOS. There would be a Linux kernel running a full-blown workload manager ... which is severely misconfigured.

  • Tasks are waiting in the queue for months (sometimes years).
  • Some tasks are running for very long and then get terminated in favor to a new task which got enqueued a second ago.
  • Most tasks crash (segfault), due to overallocated memory.
  • CPU load is constantly at 100% although many tasks are just idling.

At least that's the case in ADHD brains.
