This is pretty interesting. Is there a shell? I didn't see one, but since it has a local file system, it should be (?) doable.

An oddity I noticed: It doesn't appear you can actually exit the About screen. You can minimize it, but can't shut it down like you can with vim, for example.

Yes there is havoc, a Wayland terminal and there is bash.

I will redesign the desktop to make it more intuitive

I tried it again, and still couldn't figure out how to get rid of the About screen once it has been run.

What I additionally noticed, is that right clicking on its minimized form re-maximizes and gives the browser dropdown at the same time. I'm not sure if you can stop the browser part though. That might be out of your control.

You can just minimize the´about’ at the moment. I will remove it since I created a landing page

I started exaequOS two years ago. It is a Unix-like operating system fully running in a web browser. You will find all the steps from the creation til now
