Shared meaning:
Both can mean "therefore" or "because."
---"I'm very smart, so I'm in the advanced class."
---"I'm very smart, thus, I'm in the advanced class."
---"I am very smart, therefore I'm in the advanced class."
---"Because I'm very smart, I'm in the advanced class."
You'll notice that the word order and punctuation change, but the meaning is more or less the same.
Not shared meaning:
"So" can also mean "very" (I'm so tired.)
"So what?" is an idiom that expresses that you don't care. ("I'm so tired." "So what? You still need to finish this work.")
Use:
"Thus" is somewhat formal and usually only seen in academic, or other formal writing. You might also hear it in a formal debate or speech. Said out loud, "thus" can sound pretentious.
"So" is more casual. It's common in everyday speech and can be too causal for some formal conversations or formal writing.
I'm a native English speaker and professional writer and I've never heard of "os." It might just be a typo. Or slang, maybe?
