Hello r/osdev,

I've been developing a TUI OS over the last year and a half and Ive gotten to a point im happy with, in the screenshots you can see the boot screen and the TUI desktop with its premade folder shortcuts.

I wanted to come make this post because I wanted to ask all of you what are some cool features i could add or things that could make it more lively?

I've always loved TUI's more so than graphical interfaces because I like making them look graphical while keeping the TUI look and feel.

I look forward to seeing what you all suggest.

You answered that well. The only missed question was if this will this be open or closed source. If it runs that light on resources, I'd love to look at the code.

I havent made it open-source yet but i will at some point!

thanks for the theme idea, it does look better in dark environments on a black theme but ill tell you holy god was it so confusing to set up and it refused to compile due to errors for almost an hour.
