MagnusWare, formerly known as MagnusSoft, is an operating system created primarily for the purpose of testing and developing a desktop environment. My inspiration for delving into OS development came from reading Andrew S. Tanenbaum's "Modern Operating Systems" and "Distributed Operating Systems" textbooks.
The languages are easy to write in and the most critical functions and components of an operating system can be easily replicated using JavaScript & jQuery.
Yes...and no. My primary inspiration for creating MagnusWare was Windows96.net. I observed that it had a somewhat plain appearance and felt that I could enhance it. The challenge of creating my own desktop environment was also a motivating factor. While I drew design inspiration from other JavaScript-based desktop environments, I drew inspiration from GitHub and DID NOT directly copy and paste any code.
Any and all icons have been recreated using Photopea, or sourced directly from game files.
