An OS to look Forward to - 8-24-2026 343

My main project since February all the way through the beginning of August was Ofekal Naudnik. It was a very good and cool OS. It introduced saving data to the same file rather than saving another copy every single time like in Moda. It introduced the Toolbox and even server accounts. But one bad thing did plague it, I coded it super inefficiently and it began to run very slow and choppy. Recently, I got a new computer, and I like to start a new project on my fresh computer or OS. For example, last time when I downloaded Zorin OS, I created Maplication. My new project for this computer is a newer browser OS that runs much faster and is as efficient as I possibly can make it. Here I will list the so far changes from Naudnik. First of all, it is a lot less cluttered such as the power off button on the lockscreen. I cleaned it up nice and neat to be straightforward and fast. A brought the topbar back to save space on the taskbar. I removed the need for fake internet access, instead I put [USERNAME]'s Desktop where I would have put it. On the task bar, there is the start button to the left and an empty taskbar all the way to the right. The start menu is no longer a full screen. I combined the start menu with the file explorer and called it "Explorer." I made it to where each application window is not actually built-in but a separate iframed HTML page that can interact with the main page back and forth using the JS sendMessage() method. Fun fact, the start menu itself is an application window. I coded a template CSS and JS file to link to each Ofekal application. The JS file contains functions to intergrate with the base OS such as getting user input from prompts, giving notifications, and even opening and moving other apps. For example, right when you open the start menu, it calls a function to move and resize the window to the bottom-left corner. I brought the context menu back instead of making it automatically delete things when you right click. More can be added depending on what exactly you right click on but the default three buttons are "Close" to close the menu, "Log Out" to log out of Ofekal, and "Run >" which brings up a prompt allowing you to type in the name of a program to run. It is called Ofekal Lanaku. I do not like that name very much however, so I am planning on renaming it. Its appearance also looks very different from Naudnik.
