Building a NodeOS derivative

OrdinaryJellyfish opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

How would I build a NodeOS derivative? Does NodeOS have any such APIs for this? I would like to build an OS with a desktop GUI (most likely using something like Electron), and NodeOS seems perfect for this, but I can't seem to find any APIs for it that I could use.

There's no API like that, but instead several intechangeable layers, so you can modify and reuse them. A GUI using Electron would be a nice thing, problem is about how to make Electron to work without needing to use X11 or Wayland, just only KMS. Do you have any idea?

No, not really. I was hoping using X11 or Wayland (preferably X11) would be possible within NodeOS, but I'll try to look up some solutions for this.

All the results I can find require X11.

There is always OS.js and then there is tightVNC which does in fact leverage x11.

Yes, it could be possible to use them and use NodeOS remotely from a browser.
