Comparison
Both are Web OSes (an operating system in the browser). Puter is open-source with a global focus; RoqueOS is a Personal Cloud OS with native Docker, a first-party AI agent, and a Brazilian focus.
Updated April 2026
Puter.com is the open-source reference Web OS: desktop UI in the browser, first-party apps, shared filesystem, AGPL, with investors and fast growth. RoqueOS is a **Personal Cloud OS** with a different focus: **native Docker integration** (App Store with 155+ apps), a **proprietary AI agent** (OpenClaw), optional self-hosted server (NestJS + Docker), and **first-class LGPD / Portuguese** support for the Brazilian market. Puter is generalist and global; RoqueOS is deeper, Brazilian, and tightly integrated with self-hosting.
