Someone DM me and explain urbit
Conversation
It’s just a very new conception of what a personal computer is, nothing more/less
it’s slow + clunky + doesn’t do much for the time being because its fundamentals are still being laid out, but one day it’ll graduate from being a virtual computer into being a physical one

urbit is hard to describe because people overthink it and try to explain “what makes it different” – urbit is just a general-purpose computer, and a general-purpose computer can be/do anything

So this is like, purposely a bad explanation, right? Because to most people a computer is a physical object and nobody has shown me their physical urbit they bought in a store.

no, I'm genuine here, not trying to obfuscate anything: urbit is literally a virtual computer lol
have you ever emulated a game on macOS/windows/linux? retro games need to emulate being on an older system in order to function, and they use virtual computers to do this.

happy to help lol, this stuff is just weird to explain because it's hard describing computers and "what they do" or "what they are for" to begin with
