DropOS
Overview

DropOS is an open‑source launcher and mini operating‑system–style environment, coded entirely in Python using Tkinter for its graphical interface. It is designed to simulate a lightweight desktop OS experience while remaining simple, moddable, and beginner‑friendly.

DropOS focuses on customization, experimentation, and learning. It includes a boot menu, a login system, an app launcher, and a growing collection of built‑in applications — all inside a single Python project.
