Building my OwnOs

Source
Ship #1

@Jeshu on My very own WebOS

What I made
Limux OS is a fully web-based operating system simulation that perfectly bridges the gap between retro-hacker aesthetics and ultra-modern UI design. Cloaked in a custom frosted-glass theme, it features a highly interactive hacker terminal, a draggable window manager, and a suite of pre-packaged daily utility apps including an auto-saving Notes tool, a dynamic Calculator, an integrated Music Player, and a hardware-linked Camera interface.

What was challenging
Building a robust Window Manager from scratch without relying on heavy frontend frameworks like React or Next.js proved to be quite challenging. Managing dynamic z-indexes, drag-and-drop boundary math, and DOM state purely using vanilla JavaScript required strict logic and deep focus on my part. I also had to resolve complex browser rendering quirks, such as overriding the default WebKit scrollbars and adjusting CSS Flexbox to ensure the terminal auto-scrolled perfectly without pushing the input line out of bounds.
