JavaScript based operating system

This project is in very early development, and isn't functional yet.

TTY emulator, switch with Ctrl+Alt+[1-7]
- TTYs don't run a shell, and so can't be used to issue commands
- TTYs compartmentalization is currently compromized, as the XTechne panels appear on all of them. This is due to a positioning issue, which could be solved easily but would cause other problems down the road...
Kernel level logging, exceptions and, occasionaly, kernel panic
- Kernel-level function write() handles color codes with the syntax:
  %(F:1)Some red text%(F), %(B:4)and some blue background text%(B)
Draft of a display service (XTechne) and login manager (XTechneLogin)
- The login manager checks credentials against SHA3 hashes (/etc/passwd)
- The main desktop contains for now:
  - Configurable panels and panel items via /etc/xtechne/desktoprc
  - Draft start menu (not functional)
  - Hermes file browser (Window app template)
  - Draggable, minimizable, maximizable and closable windows
  - Not resizable yet...
- Nomos: draft window app framework

It's not really worth installing right now, but if you want to try it anyway, knock yourself out!
