Compare different web-os: node-os, OS13k, web3os, meeseOS etc... for os-js

[ghost]

Hi all.

1. concept

I would like to compare different web-os. For example, meeseOS/meeseOS, github.com/web3os-org and os-js/OS.js - I would like to know what features each of these projects has that is different and similar.

2. Idea

I initially thought of creating a table comparing license type, development time and features. For example...

Comparison of os.js(frontend, backend) to other similar solutions, alternatives

os-name	license	feature	active?	written in web?
OS.js	BSD 2-Clause License	full web-desktop	yes	yes
NodeOS	MIT License	desktop(only cli, without gui)	no	c, assembly,web
OS13k	GNU General Public License v3.0	web desktop(but only games)	yes	web
meeseOS	MIT License	full web-desktop+games	yes	web
web3os	add	full web-desktop	yes	asm, web
jde	GNU General Public License v3.0	desktop envrionment for manjaro(distro-linux)	no	web, c, python
Stealify	Apache License 2.0	not is full desktop, compiler	yes	c, js
Awesome	add	not is full desktop, compiler	yes	add.
Just-js	MIT License	not is full desktop, compiler "partial"	yes	-
B8G	The Unlicense	add.	yes	-
Fuchsia OS	BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License	full desktop.	yes	c++,rust,go,python,c
dahlia-os	Apache License 2.0	full web-desktop.	yes	dart, c, ruby, c...

3. question/feedback

What do you all think about this idea?

[ajmeese7]

I would like to note that "MeeseOS" (my repository) is simply a highly-customized fork of OS.js, so I wouldn't really consider it an entirely separate entity. I also have a highly personalized and simplified fork of AaronOS called "KaraOS" (link) that's a WIP (unfortunately abandoned for the time being due to time constraints) for an artistic portfolio site for my wife, that may be interesting to some folks (definitely wouldn't consider it a full OS). Just checked and it's up to 19k views now 😄

I like the idea of the list, keep up the good work. So far it looks a lot like one of my star lists but with all the info compiled in a single place, which is neat and helpful to individuals window-shopping for a choice.

---

Update: Sorry if I gave the impression that I thought the list should be included in the OS.js repository, that was not what I was intending to say. See my comment on the PR for my thoughts on that.
