This is a basic Linux OS that I made on Scratch. Click on the green flag to start. Click on the envelope icon to open the email application. Click the X button in the email application to close it. Click on the gray circle icon with the white text ">_" (without the quotation marks) in it to launch the terminal. This icon is the terminal icon, based on the one from Chrome OS. Click on the red power button to shut the OS down. Type "clear" (without the quotes) in the terminal to clear it, or type "exit" (again, without the quotes) to close the terminal window and exit the terminal. I recommend running this Linux OS in full screen mode. The clock translates 24-hour to 12-hour. --- FUN FACT --- In this Linux OS, the email application is (currently) not functional. Instead, it is an envelope image with Tux in place of the tape, and with a red X button on top of the image. --- Version History --- V 1.0: Initial version V 1.1: Added clock V 1.2: Updated the clock so the time that it shows has the real format of 12-hour time V 1.3: Made on my PC, this update added the type command to the terminal. V 1.4: Added VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) V 1.5: Bug fix V 1.6: Added loading cursor V 1.7: Added echo command V 1.8: Added system log and modified XP splash screen V 1.9: Added login and logout functionality V 2.0: Added file manager V 2.1: Removed access to the file manager
Thanks to Microsoft for the great startup and shutdown sounds from the great Windows XP. These sounds are used as the startup and shutdown sounds for this Linux OS. Even though I now have a Windows 10 PC, I still made this on my Chromebook because I made this at my great grandma's house, where I can use my Chromebook but cannot use my PC. This is because my PC is a non-portable desktop computer rather than a portable laptop, but my Chromebook is portable (because it is a laptop). --- Another Fun Fact --- I actually initially made and published this on Linux. That's right: this was initially made on Linux! This is because Chrome OS (the OS that runs on Chromebooks) is actually a Linux distro (also known as a Linux OS). However, like every other Linux OS, Chrome OS has a preinstalled terminal (that does not require neither enabling Linux nor turning on developer mode) called the Chrome Shell, or crosh for short. Just like on Ubuntu, you can open crosh on a Chromebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on the keyboard. After that, crosh will open in a new browser tab in the Chrome browser. Only very few commands from other Linux distributions are available in crosh (by default), especially top, ping, exit, and uname. Also, I have installed the real Linux terminal (specifically, from Ubuntu 18.04) on my PC, using WSL (the Windows Subsystem for Linux).
