I am writing half an OS, the front half. It displays a full GUI in the browser. The goal is native distribution over a network with full decentralization. For example in Windows you can drag and drop file(s) between windows to move those file(s) between directories. In my application you can achieve all the same interaction which may move those file(s) to a different directory, different personal device, or different user. The experience is the same whether the application is running on Linux, Windows, or OSX. In this application when you double click a file, in the browser to execute it, the OS default application associated with that file type opens just like in the native OS. If that file is on another personal device or another user it is copied to the local device for execution. In order to minimize clutter I have a button to minimize all windows to a tray, but that is hardly original. Soon I will start working on a terminal emulator (also displaying in the browser) for remote terminal access to personal devices. I know many people don’t like interfaces written in JavaScript but it is portable to things like Electron and Tauri. The test automation executes in less than 10 seconds on just the local device or just under 2 minutes for full peer to peer testing. Because this is all JavaScript there is a bunch of low level concerns I don’t have to reinvent, like accessibility, but the socket based decentralization does require new transmission handling and some original security work.
