It seems that the creation of an OS based on browsers and graphical skins of its own design becomes mainstream. On Habré, news about Chrome OS, Firefox OS and other operating systems that have either already been prepared or are just getting ready for release has already appeared. Gnome developers recently reported that they were working on their operating system. Gnome OS (what do you think it will be called?) Should appear in 2014.
The new system, according to the plan, will have to work not only on laptops and desktop PCs, but also on tablets. Now the main task of the developers is to work on the support of touch screens and various kinds of chips. In addition, you need to "bring" and the compliance of the new OS all sorts of standards and specifications. On everything about everything the developers have about a half year. That is the period they have determined for themselves.

As for Gnome itself, this graphical shell will be compatible with the new operating system (as well as Chrome Os with the Chrome browser). The team that is working on Gnome OS promises to show the system specifications and its hardware requirements soon. In addition, when announcing Gnome OS, the SDK will be presented and the API of this system will be open.
The developers hope that Gnome OS will have a support team, so to speak. In other words, the team hopes for the emergence of enthusiasts who will write applications under Gnome OS, which will help to make this system universal.
A lot of information on the new system was published by one of the initiators of the project in his
blog .
