You're in — try these commands

The OS boots with a full virtual filesystem. Here's a quick orientation:

# Get oriented
```

help          # show all commands
neofetch      # system info
ls -la        # list home dir
cat readme.txt

# Explore the filesystem
cd projects
ls
cat notes.txt
find / -name “*.py”

# Shell tricks
ping localhost  # Ctrl+C to stop
ps              # view processes
apple           # 🍎
// PROJECT STRUCTURE

File Layout

linuxapple/
├── index.html ← Entry point, loads all modules
├── launch.sh ← Linux Mint launcher script
├── kernel/
│ └── kernel.js ← Boot sequence, process table, uptime
├── fs/
│ └── vfs.js ← Virtual filesystem & path resolution
├── shell/
│ └── shell.js ← Parser, history, tab completion
├── bin/
│ └── commands.js ← All 30+ built-in commands
└── ui/
└── ui.js ← Renderer, prompt, boot animation

Modules load in order: kernel → vfs → commands → shell → ui. Each file is self-contained and independently editable. Add commands in bin/commands.js, add files to the virtual FS in fs/vfs.js.
