Cat Linux 1.0

Cat Linux

Cat Linux is a browser-based operating system simulation inspired by
classic 32-bit Linux environments. The system boots from a command-line
interface, runs an initial setup process, and loads a graphical homescreen
containing 25 clickable applications.

This project is designed for educational and demonstration purposes and
focuses on structure, flow, and system-style interaction rather than
actual kernel-level functionality.

Core Concepts

• Command-based startup (Start)
• Boot and setup sequence
• 32-bit iconic visual style
• Desktop-style application launcher
• Modular architecture prior to single-file consolidation

Technologies Used

• HTML
• CSS
• SCSS / SASS
• JavaScript
• Python (logic reference only)
• MIT License

Startup Flow

1. User enters the command Start
2. System boot screen is displayed
3. Initial setup process runs
4. Graphical homescreen loads
5. User can open applications from the desktop

Applications

• 25 applications are available on the homescreen
• Applications are clickable
• All applications open within a windowed interface
• Application logic is centralized and modular

Project Structure

The project is intentionally split into multiple files and directories
to demonstrate proper separation of concerns.
In a later phase, all assets will be combined into a single index.html.

Notes

• Cat Linux is a simulation, not an actual Linux operating system
• Python is included for reference and structural logic only
• Visual design is inspired by classic 32-bit systems
