is it possible to make an OS from scratch solo? Terry Davis wrote TempleOS so yes.

Alex hormozi?!

Its actually pretty simple, you create your own programming language and then commit yourself to daily communication to god through this language. Let fear and reverence guide you

I did it. It wasnt hard just long had to write everything which is usually just granted by some lib otherwise. Its a good learning experience.

Yeah it’s definitely how OS were originally made. We would be talking about the bare minimum of what you could consider an operating system. IIRC all the theory and code is covered in “the Minix book” called Operating Systems Design and Implementation, by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

It can be done but you really have to love low level stuff and coding.

I watched my housemate write a C library to write their own C based OS to run their own C version of conway's game of life. They showed me it running on an x86 machine after a few months of keyboard banging, I said now port it to arm and run it on my RPI hooked up to the TV. Her eyes went wide and instantly started bangin on the keyboard, 4 days later her build of conway's game of life on her OS built with her C lib was running on my RPI.
They deleted their github profile with MadOS, so there is only pastebin remnants of it such as this pastebin number 9ynCmFJq

Andreas Kling wrote Serenity OS. Plenty of smaller OS projects have been written by just one dev. Key is smaller.

Does writing OS means also writing all drivers?

Pour one out for our poor schizophrenic friend.

TERRY THE GOOOOOAAAAT

And it made him mad 😂

Linux from scratch is a solid platform to learn the ins and outs of undertaking such a massive project

lfs still a thing because you said os from scratch (doesnt include the kernel) + its easier to write kernels nowadays infact you have multiple os's with their own kernel (gloire that uses ironclad kernel who is written in ada or toro which is written in pascal with its own kernel and so on and so forth)

If you have the time and resources, sure.

Step 1 is being jobless with schizophrenia

I mean ya but it’ll literally drive you insane like literally

I’m currently doing it, it’s the hardest thing ever but somehow doing it

So did Torvalds.

True, but Terry had 10+ years and disability checks keeping him afloat with no job. He didn't exactly have to worry about income, time restraints, etc.

I am.

TBH, the majority of contemporary 'developers' lack the necessary skill set (by a huge margin). Never mind an OS, most struggle to write a half decent library.

I did it

making a operating system other people daily drive is hard af but making a toy os is doable
