MOROS Developers Tell me: Do you plan to add a GUI to your system?

[ghost]

You guys plan this?

Sorry for the delay in answering, the past few months have been very busy. Unfortunately there's no plans to add a GUI to MOROS, it will remain text based to keep it simple.

However feel free to fork it if you want to experiment with a GUI without having to start from scratch! There's already a framebuffer available but you will need to improve the driver to increase the screen resolution.

good... I understand your side, one question, hey I've seen some projects that plan to make an entire desktop system from the terminal, do you plan to do something like that?

[vinc]

I mostly live inside the terminal already so it makes sense to me, although I also use some GUIs of course like Firefox, Gimp, and Blender but they are too complex for a hobby OS.

Inside MOROS I use a Gemini/HTTP(S) to HTTP/0.9 proxy to read the small web and I did some experiments with SMTP from the socket command so I plan to build a simple web browser and a tiny mail client in MOROS Lisp to have a more useful userspace.

I already use my OS daily to write text files (todo list, journaling stuff, ect) from a desktop computer and a few thinkpads laying around. I also use it in a rack in my homelab to host some static websites (not production ready).

I also want to keep improving the shell by introducing conditionals and loops, and pipes at some point.

great idea, vinc
