What's new in LiveG OS V0.2.0: multiplatform support and plenty more
Web apps open up large opportunities that can allow LiveG OS to compete with today's major operating systems, as PWA technologies enable a large range of existing apps to be installed to LiveG OS, such as Mastodon, Twitter, YouTube — and even our own apps, like LiveG Docs. The OS-independent compatibility that web apps have make PWA technologies an ideal platform for LiveG OS, and LiveG OS's own system apps — and even its desktop environment, gShell — are themselves made using web technologies.

Orb is a free and open source web desktop
This is what I've been working on with LiveG OS, whose desktop environment, gShell, is written in HTML/CSS/JS: https://liveg.tech/os
The OS is also designed to run on mobile devices, so there's some cross-platform consistency between the system on desktop and mobile devices.
It's currently designed to run web apps, but the hope is to also include support for typical Linux GTK and Qt apps (or any app that uses Xwindows) soon to aid daily driveability.
The current release can't do much yet, but we'll be releasing our next Alpha version in about a week or two which include a few more useful features on top of what's already available on our site!

Project Prism: on the road to building an open smartphone
The main interface uses our own user environment, called gShell. It uses Adapt UI (web demo), which is the user interface design language and framework which we developed in-house over the course of a few months.

What's new in LiveG OS V0.2.0: multiplatform support and plenty more
In addition to the Raspberry Pi, LiveG OS now also runs on the PinePhone smartphone by PINE64. This makes LiveG OS officially available for mobile devices alongside the current option for running it on the desktop. LiveG OS won't run on the PinePhone Pro just yet — anyone who wishes to volunteer to bring LiveG OS to the PinePhone Pro should check out our LiveG OS Bootstrap Toolchain repository on GitHub and also join our Discord community.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gShell and OS-Bootstrap you can also consider the following projects:
debian-i3-novnc-docker - Debian with i3 tiling window manager - Accessible in the browser using noVNC
Orb - Orb is a free and open source web desktop, which simulates a Windows-like desktop in a web browser. You can use it to access files on a server or a NAS in an easy and secure way.
