AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussSome browsers I've used prevent you from loading the same page within itself -- likely some kind of recursion protection.I've tended to get around this by adding a query to the URL bar -- seems to trick whatever browser it was that I encountered this behavior on.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussAaronOS dev here. I love the work he did on this, and that mine is considered a source of inspiration.One thing is certain when comparing the two - I have a LOT to learn from this project. The inspiration goes both ways.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussThat's exactly how aOS started. Wasn't quite my first exercise, but was among the first few things I ever made.I have a little snapshot of how it looked back then, at https://aaronos.dev/AaronOS_Old/
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussIt's open source -- feel free to clone from github and hack away!Not quite sure that anything could be called a Kernel by any measure, but there's certainly a lot of stuff in there.Oh, and I apologize in advance for your loss of brain cells. Some of that code is around seven years old.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussI've experimented with running Chrome in Kiosk mode on system boot before, but it was never very convincing on the old systems I tested on.Aside that, an Electron app has been experimented with, but only the Music Player has actually been released standalone.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussI love collections like these. So cool to see what different people have done with the concept.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussThank you for the compliments!Snappiness is definitely lent to the tiny scale of the project compared to Windows -- the entire thing is loaded to RAM! Though that's been changing in more recent updates.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussHaha, I experimented with a rebranding to aDE instead of aOS, but felt that it could get confused with actual Linux desktop environments.As time passes the "System" part of "OS" is beginning to feel more valid, at the least. 3rd-party app support, interconnected systems, etc.You're right though, certainly not an actual OS by any measure.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussThe other comment is pretty much right on. It's a playground of sorts for me. Platform for the rest of my projects.
AaronAdams·5 năm trước·discussHow cool to see my project on here!Been working on it for roundabout seven years.If anyone's got questions, fire away!
