LDE is a web-based operating system inspired by the look and feel of a traditional desktop environment. The project brings together features like a desktop window manager, start menu, taskbar, and prebuilt applications, all accessible through a browser. With the goal of creating a fully interactive desktop experience, LDE combines the power of web development with the familiarity of a classic OS interface.
LDE began in July 2021 as an entry for the PPTOS competition (PowerPoint OS competition), the team consists of six developers who worked collaboratively to build this operating system. Although the competition and community were later discontinued, the significant progress we made inspired us to continue development independently.
Between July 2021 and August 2023, LDE evolved from a PPT-based OS into a web-based OS due to the inactivity of the original community. The project is now solely maintained and actively developed by me, focusing on porting all the features from PPTOS into the current web-based platform.
- Boot Loader (Version A02): A sleek initialization process that mimics an OS boot-up.
- Package System (Version A03): Streamlined management of prebuilt apps and components.
- Desktop Window Manager (Version A01): Responsive and interactive window management system.
- Start Menu & Taskbar (Version A02): A functional and user-friendly navigation experience.
- Prebuilt Apps (Version A04): A selection of integrated applications to explore and use.
- Settings (Version A02): Customizable system settings for personalizing the user experience.
- Interactive Desktop Experience: A fully operational virtual desktop environment accessible through a browser.
- Active Development: This project is actively maintained as of Wed, Nov 27.
- Last Major Update: 4 months ago, with continued plans to expand features and usability.
- Port all remaining features from PPTOS to the web-based LDE platform.
- Enhance performance and interactivity for a seamless user experience.
- Introduce new features and integrations, making LDE a robust web-based desktop environment.
We’re excited to share our progress to everyone-like mind. we want to make LDE even better. 🚀
