Excellent post. Thank you. I love looking through awesome-web-desktops. Most aren't infinite canvases but they are canvases, canvases of programs. There's fun stuff. UI paradigms being cooked up. I'll pitch in particular AetherOS, as being a neat web desktop that also is interestingly connected, networked, which is neat. https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops https://bsky.app/profile/aetheros.computer I do think we need to ask a little more "what next?". Taking Niri as a real desktop example, it's just so good, such simple but enjoyable new bones for a doing computing atop. So close to what was but so unique and nice. It intuitively connects me to the many many what ifs all around, makes me feel like there's such imminent possibility. Especially today, who can make a UI that can be spoken well with, that is conversationally capa

Palm Pre's webOS (2009) is the most famous. After an acquisition by HP (2010-2013), it was acquired by LG's (with patents going to Qualcomm). The only other major entrant, Firefox, was short lived (2014-2015). Chrome OS (2011-) only sort of counts; I don't think the OS chrome is using Chrome, just the same underlying drawing libraries, but it does run webapps. Before that was a neat Linux project Pyrodesktop (2007) which was an x11 window manager using Firefox guts to render. There was also a trend of trying to mate Javascript technologies to gnome back then, with efforts like gjs seeing some adoption. I don't know how popular it is, but a spinoff of css was/is used for styling in GNOME for a while. These days there's tons of web desktop projects. https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops . Only sort of in the spirit but i quite ad

Thanks glad you liked it! There other "desktop environments" in the browser (https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops), but I tried my best to be one of the more accurate/functional ones.

Wow - this is crazy timing! I came across this site sometime ago - but didn't bookmark it. Just a few hours ago - I found some similar resources and wished I'd bookmarked this list. And here it is! Anyway, here's my list on the same theme: Systems running in a browser. https://simone.computer/#/webdesktops https://github.com/copy/v86 https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_desktop https://github.com/zriyansh/awesome-os https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs https://github.com/whscullin/apple2js https://github.com/felixrieseberg/macintosh.js https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95/ https://github.com/1j01/98 Thanks for supplementing my notes stranger!

Agreed that Windows 93 is a hard one to beat. My plan is to try and beat them all eventually, but I am patient and enjoy making the app. I've had this idea for quite a while but only in the last few years felt confident enough in my skills to attempt it. As for more sites recreating the web desktop idea, here is a great list: https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops

Ya that is a well done one that was inspiration for me, cause it was taken very seriously. This site has a good list of Web Desktops. https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops

Nicely done! I'm kinda obsessed with these "Web Desktops" or whatever you wanna call them. I've attempted something similar a few times. Currently working on a year long side project to do something with tons of features that looks like Windows 10. This is a great list of similar projects https://github.com/syxanash/awesome-web-desktops. My favorite is probably Windows 93, but this Windows 96 one is in my top 5.
