Pyro is a new kind of desktop environment for Linux built on Mozilla Firefox. Its goal is to enable true integration between the Web and modern desktop computing.
This is closer to my idea of what the “Web OS” will be. Projects like EyeOS and related efforts are neat, and all; but being as they require a traditional OS, running at least enough of a Window manager to render a browser, they seem a bit unnecessary. Pyro, as an add-on for Firefox, and taking on the role of Window Manager for itself, seems like a cool bridge between the traditional OS and the so-calledweb-based/browser-based OS. Pyro doesn’t try to call itself an OS — it’s a Window Manager.
Very beta, from what they say on the site; I’ll have to test it out at some point. It’s an interesting idea; could be a fun project to keep an eye on.
Looks cool - might have to check it out myself.
