Could you build this?
No Running an 'OS' with fully interactive third-party desktop apps (Chrome, Office, ChatGPT) inside an infinite collaborative canvas requires complex virtualization, secure web streaming/sandboxing (e.g. WebRTC remote browser isolation/VNC), and multi-tenant real-time sync.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a remote browser/app isolation architecture running sandboxed containerized Linux/Windows instances (using Docker/K8s and Chromium/X11/Wayland), streaming low-latency video via WebRTC to a canvas frontend (e.g. PixiJS/Fabric/Tldraw). It also requires robust multiplayer CRDT synchronization (Yjs/Liveblocks) and high-performance server fleets capable of GPU acceleration and low-latency interactive streaming.
