(formerly known as open99)
Pluto is a multipurpose closed-source web OS designed with a focus on providing an enhanced user experience. Besides its attractive GUI, it provides numerous complex themes that allow users to personalize their interaction with the shell. The beauty of Pluto’s GUI is complemented by its efficiency in facilitating development. Equipped with powerful tools, an SDK and a developer-friendly environment, Pluto makes it easy for developers to build, test, and deploy their applications on the Pluto platform and to the Pluto Package Registry. Its compatibility with numerous programming languages* further broadens its reach, allowing a wide range of software developers to benefit from its features.
Pluto’s intent is to simulate (not emulate) the Windows operating system, as well as provide a Linux-based environment for developers to work in.
Pluto has been in the works since 2021 (over three years now). Stay tuned in the blog to see updates on progress.
In 2021 and 2022, work began on open99, but the codebase was scrapped and rewritten in mid-2022. In 2023, open99 was renamed to Pluto and was made closed-source.
Pluto is still in development and is not yet available for public use. Features may be moved, added, or removed at any time.
