Redditor builds a Doom-engine Linux desktop environment where directories are map rooms

triotune · reddit · 2026-11-16

Reddit user triotune used Claude to build a Linux desktop environment running on the Doom engine with freedoom assets. The OS is a Doom map: each directory is a separate room, moving files means walking them to another room, and wallpapers are replaced by selectable floor/wall/ceiling textures.

It ships with system settings and a built-in terminal. Planned features include running applications inside Doom (e.g. Firefox) with a file picker you physically walk to, and tileable (though not draggable) windows. Tested on macOS as a sandbox so far.
