## What it is
GodotOS is a fake operating system interface built entirely in the Godot game engine, featuring a file browser, text editor, image viewer, terminal, and bundled mini-games in a polished desktop environment. It is a toy project meant to showcase Godot UI capabilities rather than a real operating system.

## Use cases
- try a fake desktop OS in the browser
- explore Godot UI design techniques
- play small bundled games like Snake and Tetris in a desktop shell
- use a minimalist distraction-free desktop toy
- learn how to build a desktop environment in Godot 4
- contribute your own game to a start menu hub

## When to choose
- you want a fun, polished fake OS demo built with Godot 4
- you want to study or reuse Godot UI patterns for your own projects
- you want a web-playable toy desktop with mini-games

## When to avoid
- you need an actual operating system or real desktop environment
- you need a production application framework
- you need serious file management or productivity software
