IMO, there is no "Independent OS". They are all hardware dependent. There may be versions of an OS available for multiple hardware platforms that have similar features and similar look-and-feel. BUT an application can't be moved between hardware platforms without recompiling. The recomiled software is a new copy of the original, not the same. Yes, there are emulators, that allow ARM code to execute on an X86, but that isn't the native OS.

And if etc too, list for me the names of independent operating systems, thanks!

Where did you hear this term "Independent OS"?

The closest solution to fit this kind of definition must be running an OS within a virtual machine.
