SubOS
Appearance
In computing, a SubOS may mean several related concepts
- A process-specific protection mechanism allowing potentially dangerous applications to run in a restricted environment. It worked by setting a sub-user id which was user id of the owner of the file rather than the person running the file.[1]
- A substitute-operating system, which simulated a full operating system. These were mainly developed by the GameMaker community.[2]

It is basically an app with more apps in it and it's own way of dealing with them." (I created Doors Mobile and Doors Desktop Online tour.) Doors online tour
