winux

Website containing desktop inspired by Windows 98 and Linux.

Technologies

Desk site is created using React with Javascript (I should've used Typescript).

Only package I used is gh-pages in order to deploy website to Github pages.

React project itself was generated using Vite.

Usage:

You can run the website using npm:

npm run dev

Detailed description

This is how it looks like:

This website contains replica of Windows 98, which I find very nice looking + it's nostalgic. But to be fair, I don't really know Windows terminal, because I use Linux (I use Arch btw), so to make things easier, terminal is implemented Linux like. File system is also implemented like on Unix systems (not fully yet).

This website is still work in progress, so many things are still missing or not fully functioning. Terminal is still far from finished and file system resets for every terminal (and doesn't work with the desktop yet)

Motivation

I've seen a video, where they implemented a terminal on their website. I found it very interesting and wanted to try it myself. But to make things a bit original, I decided to do full desktop. And what other OS to use then Windows 98, even though I'm too young, so I haven't tried it myself :). So if somethings isn't as it was in the system, you can let me know.

Thanks to this website I got so many icons and it made my life so much easier, so thanks!
