This is the Year of the GodotOS
- GodOS
  
  For all the fans of TempleOS out there now comes GodOS.
Lol when GodotOS supports fractional scaling faster than some DEs..
This is awesome! Is there a practical use case? Or was this just a fun learning project?
- Just for fun, it's more of a toy. That said, the source code is available so someone could probably extend it to something a little more serious.

  Will do.
  
  Awesome job. I watched most of the video and it looks really cool.
This is a great showcase of the engine’s ui, nice work! What languages did you use?
- Thanks! I only used GDScript, nothing else needed.
Where's the homework folder?
- All 470GB of it?
This is going to be great for the "haunted PC" genre.
- "haunted PC" genre... What is that?
  
  The game that immediately popped into my mind was Last Seen Online.
  
  media about PCs that are haunted.
- Ink/twine integration with something like this would be crazy cool
How fun! Awesome music choice as well.
This is actually brilliant, nicely done.
- Thanks! I've actually used Unity before Godot and I can tell you the UI system here is a lot easier to deal with compared to Unity once you understand it. Also there aren't 3 different technologies to make one user interface. Unity's UI Toolkit was still kind of a mess last time I've seen it.
  
  I'll have to look at your project then, thanks for releasing it. I'm curious how you managed to do all that.
I'd love to build something with this, starring the repo!
Hmmm very interesting 🤔
You got a GFS video! https://youtu.be/Q5pVQLAWqXI
- I just saw it! Wild stuff!
  And that title will make a lot of people really mad haha, he did clarify it wasn't a real OS but boy are the comments rolling in anyways.
