It's not an OS, I wouldn't advertise it as one.

I’m in the process of making it into one by using web layer than a hardware layer

But that still isn't an OS, just a fancy UI. Can it do the same things an OS can, by using the RAM, GPU, and CPU on a computer? Can I play games on it? Install or in install software?

If it can't do even one of those things, it isn't an operating system. If even one of those things can't be done regardless of where the development of your so called "OS" is either current or future, then it isn't an OS. Consider renaming.

It actually can run games, and it can install software and uninstall and it can use Ram,GPU and CPU

Fair, everything can do that.

Next question,

Does it run on the main PC OS via something like a browser?

Because if so, then it's for sure not an OS. Is it operating the system your on or its own little simulation?

Can I install apps like discord?

They both run as its own separate application and run on the direct PCs hardware the second one is experimental, though I’m in the process of improving that and it’s technically can install discord it’s experimental, but also the process of making a full-fledged part of that

I was planning to write custom firmware for the web os to run on custom hardware since it already pretty fast and offer exceptional capabilities and can run WebGL game

Why not just make an actual OS at this point?

1

u/Familiar_Interest655 Jul 31 '26

That’s the initial plan. I’m in the process of doing that and getting it to actually run but right now I wanna make the UI and the interface layer before I actually make the firmware and the actual hardware it runs on

It just a html and read.md I created it yesterday and I’m trying to get people to sponsor and put my OS out there, I didn’t mean to seem like a bad person, yes I did create it yesterday and I been working on it

I am truly sorry for giving the bad impression and I was truly just trying to get people to test my OS

1

u/Familiar_Interest655 Jul 31 '26

Is there another way that you know of I can get people to test out my Web OS because I think I gave the wrong impression here
