I made Windows-like OS in the powerpoint

It's not exactly a genuine OS, but rather than recreation of Windows, but with a unique identity and name - OnysmOS. I want suggestions on how to make my work bit easier to keep going, because these are the problems that I'm running into:
- PowerPoint doesn't have memory, so if a user makes any changes (for eg. change wallpaper), It won't be updated across other slides where background is displayed, so I will have to duplicate existent slides but with an updated background instead;
- More about the memory and multitasking, that's the biggest culprit of this app and I'm aware, it's not meant for these type of projects, but I've seen somewhere that it's possible to code in the PowerPoint and I really hope that can save me from duplicating slides for every variety of choice that a user makes (for eg. open explorer and browser tab and the same time)
- I have built-in font downloaded from PowerPoint, it was available in the cloud, but if anyone else wants to experience this OS with that font, they have to manually download it, it doesn't come included with shared PowerPoint file. In case anyone wants to experience the way it's meant to be, the font's name is ADlam Display
That's all. I'd be very thankful just to get even the smallest tip to optimize my work or inspire others to make similar projects. Suggestions, ideas, tips, criticisms, everything's accepted.
✅ It's absolutely safe to open this project, it doesn't run any programs nor redirect you to strange links, everything can be checked beforehand. Even hovering the mouse over buttons will display the URL that you're getting redirected to. Don't get surprised with its huge size too (106MB), it got inflated because of inserted mp4 videos.
Here's the download link:

(Google Drive was forcing me to open it in google slides, so I will save you headache and it will be available through mediafire)
Thanks in advance! :) Here's some screenshots!
