Could you build this?
No Building a custom Linux-based operating system with a bespoke web-technology display server or desktop environment demands deep low-level systems programming and OS engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack requires a custom Linux distribution (built via Yocto, Buildroot, or customized Linux kernel/systemd), a lightweight Wayland compositor (e.g., wlroots), and an embedded browser engine (Chromium Embedded Framework or WebKitGTK) acting as PID 1 or the display shell. The hard parts are kernel tailoring, hardware driver abstraction, IPC architecture between web runtime and system daemons, and memory-constrained resource isolation. This requires extensive Linux systems engineering, C/C++ systems programming, and display server protocol expertise.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
