Hi! I made an OS. It is very simple and beautiful.
LinOS Update 1 (installer v2)
It's ABANODED, use it as you want, source can be downloaded there!
It is in early alpha stage (many things are not done)
What is working
  • Installing your apps
  • Gui
  • Menus, buttons etc..
  • Multib00t and bootloader
What is not working
  • Filemanager
  • Customisation
  • Login
  • Search is half-working
  • More apps

To install it simply run:
pastebin run bvPPJkGb

Screens:



Installing your apps
  1. Go to /apps directory
  2. Make dir "yournameofapp.app"
  3. In this folder "main" will be a source of your app
  4. Make folder named "resources" in the root of .app folder
  5. There you can add your icon by drawing it in photoshop.app (don't use paintutils) and apis, logos etc..
Changelog
SpoilerFirst release
Update 1
Fixed term.clear() at bootloader when trying to run shell
AboutCC app
Installer v2
deleted all the "sleeps"
Some more fixes

Hey, looks nice. However I would not recomend releasing an OS that is not ready. Is this your first lua program?

What I hate:
1. Lack of use (the only thing you can do is go to the shell)
2. Fake installing screen
3. When accessing shell, screen is not cleared
What I love:
1. Nice, clean GUI
2. Shell access
3. No fake loading screen
4. Not a NDF-Jay clone
It's a nice OS, but I think you might've wanted to work on it a little more before releasing it, even in Alpha. :)/>

Yes, sorry about that… New features will be next 2-3 weeks
What I hate:
2. Fake installing screen
Just go to the notepad and look throw the source… or I can explain how does it works
What I hate:
3. When accessing shell, screen is not cleared
Yes, yes I know about it, just my fault


If you find another bugs, just send me them I think i will release bugfix next 5 days ;)/>

What I'm saying, is that when you install the OS, you have to wait, when in reality you wouldn't have to wait that much, therefor it's a "fake installing screen" and is generally discouraged.

What we are trying to say is that you should not add unnecessary sleeps.
