[Solved] Application-Based Operating System…? [closed]


I don’t think you really want to build your own operating system. There’s already an operating system called ReactOS that’s pretty much what you’re looking to build.

Just to reemphasize that creating an operating system isn’t easy (especially one that runs Windows applications), ReactOS development started in 1998 and they’re still in alpha stage.

If you still want to have a crack at it, I would recommend having a look at OSDev, Wine source code and ReactOS source code.

Have you considered perhaps making a minimalistic Linux distro that contains the minimum number of programs needed to start up Wine and the Windows application you need?
