How can I make my Roblox operating system have a web browser?

Roblox itself cannot launch the launcher since Roblox can’t open programs.

#62

That’s Scratch’s rules on this. They don’t seem to have many, if at all.

#63

That’s the point of having linux though, otherwise it wouldn’t be needed right?

Thanks, I think a roblox link would be allowed then!

#64

Roblox in Roblox is just not possible with this.

#65

this seems cool and all, but why?

#66

Ok, I guess I’ll have to learn more about computers to figure out a way that this will work. I still like the roblox game idea though even if it’s not it’s own computer!

#67

Because why not? I wish I thought of this idea!

You’ll have to have a separate machine run Roblox, and even then it’s most likely against ToS.

I’m lost. Why are you trying to make an operating system (capable of competing with Windows and macOS) by using roblox?

Because Roblox is not a system software nor Luau is a system language. What does this idea offer that Windows and macOS don’t? Do you understand how non-trivial it is to develop an operating system (let alone a kernel)?

Linux kernel alone has over 10k contributors and has over 28 million lines of codes.
ReactOS, is an alternative to (and “competes” with) Windows, is still in alpha after 22 years.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that an operating system (let alone kernel) in Roblox is realistically impossible.

I believe a simple http request will be able to get most sites (that don’t require JavaScript / cookies.

Well, pretty much every site requires JavaScript and cookies. Even Google does.

Like I said earlyer, I have a perfect site for this. It’s kid friendly and only made with html and css

#75

Well, you would still have to make an interpreter for all the HTML and CSS that is written there.

The thing is, images don’t load unless you have some backend bot that uploads each image on an alt account and puts it that way. Also you can simply filter the text on the site with TextService
