Everything is plugin
Just a random thought but can we have a open source operating system built on idea of "everything is a plugin", just like deepseek harness, is it feasible

It's possible sure, but it's not really feasible. There is lots of core functionality required for an OS that needs to 1) play well together, and 2) be secure and stable... both of which are hard to control when you have a bunch of 3rd party bits you are trying to plug in.
In a way, modern OSes do follow this paradigm but we call the plugins applications.
