It already has PCI support, the beginnings of a paged memory management system, and the start of a VFS layer. It supports the basic PC/AT stuff such as timer, PIC, keyboard, floppy.”
That screenshot almost look like Linux booting…
Whoosh!
I love these elegant little OS efforts.
They are so romantic.
You have a bit of an odd sense of romance…
I don’t see how this is any different to a car enthusiasts love of repairing classic cars. Both involves months (years) of your life with just yourself and your passion.
Both are dull to anyone who doesn’t share the enthusiasts hobby and both are activities that “normal” people might consider a waste of time as there’s already better cars/OSs around.
One man and his “pride and joy” is a romance – it’s just with cars it’s more socially acceptable than a geeks love of code.
Hell, people talk about the old days of computing when people like Jobs and Woz were hacking together desktops in their garage as the romantic age of computing”
The solitary man sets off to struggle against nature and find his limitations. A classic Campbell mythology.
How can it not be romantic?
