Open Source TypeScript Operating Systems

windows95 in Electron is a quirky, nostalgia-driven project that ports a complete emulation of Microsoft Windows 95 into a desktop application that runs on modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It essentially wraps an emulator — preconfigured to boot Windows 95 — inside a user-friendly app built with web technologies so developers and hobbyists can explore the look and feel of that classic OS without needing legacy hardware or complicated setup. Users can interact with familiar UI elements like the Start menu, File Explorer, and retro applications in a sandboxed environment that evokes early personal computing. Beyond being a playful trip down memory lane, the project demonstrates how emulation can be packaged using modern frameworks & how legacy operating systems can be encapsulated as distributable desktop experiences. It’s become an example of how software preservation and creative programming can intersect, inspiring others to bring historic systems to life.

Design OS is an open-source product planning and UI design framework that sits at the intersection of design thinking and generative AI, guiding creators through a repeatable process from product idea to structured design deliverables. It fills what the maintainers describe as the “missing design process” in AI-first development, helping users define product visions, model data, map user flows, and lay out interfaces before a coding agent begins implementation. The tool is poised to produce production-ready UI components and artifacts that any AI coding tool can consume, encouraging a disciplined front-to-backend workflow that avoids disjointed, reactive design prompts. Design OS emphasizes clarity of intent, consistency of design systems, and exporting usable components rather than just static mockups, which aligns better with automated build pipelines and agent-driven development.

A Cloud Operating System designed for managing cloud-native applications. Sealos['siːləs] is a cloud operating system distribution based on the Kubernetes kernel. Using the cloud like using a personal computer, reducing the cost of the cloud to 1/10 of the original.
