But how?

>>141 I will introduce: moving wallpaper. I don't think linux, Windows or macOS has it. hehe I've got a good idea actually it will go like this >right click >change wallpaper >image >image that change itslef (like 5 wallpaper in a row) >or moving wallpaper (of course there will be by default ones) >you can put a webm or gif or a moving picture you made yourself

>>148 here's an example, imagine this as your wallpaper or an anime gif, would be cool huh?

>>148 >>149 I'm pretty sure you can do that on Windows or Linux at least. Not sure if you have to install additional software, but you can most likely do that.

>>150 >you have to install additional software here's the/your problem in our new OS we will not add additional software, it will be directly integrated

>>151 Well, if that's the only feature you need, there are probably Linux distributions that have that preinstalled. Or you can just make a Linux distribution, without making a new OS.

>>152 >Well, if that's the only feature you need we have more cool features incoming that your linux can't get, we're so cool with our new OS

I just want something like Emacs but modern. Emacs with a TWM is my favorite way of using a computer. Give me something like that but fundamentally integrated into the OS.

>>156 There's this https://project-mage.org/ ...But it's still in development.

There's a guy who's theming his Linux distro around Lain. >>156 There are people who use the bare minimum of Linux necessary to run Emacs on top of.

>>138 You're not Terry A. Davis, even if you were on his level and schizophrenic enough to write and OS from scratch you would be better off contributing to a Linux or BSD distro...

>>148 >>149 Live wallpapers are already available for Linux

>>199 fuck linux and other OS >>200 oh ok

This would be cool but it isn't going to happen Operating Systems are very complex, we'd be better off making a Linux Distro because that's actually somewhat feasible

>>199 >you would be better off contributing to a Linux or BSD distro This thinking is everything wrong with the world. Serenity OS is an example of fun.

>>202 >A linux distro Thats utterly boring >This would be cool but it isn't going to happen Its not so hard to make bare metal programs that read inputs and write to disk I dont think its unrealistic to have a simple shell hobby OS made by 3 or 4 hobbyists

>>224 Does this make her an OS-tan now?

can you tell me what our OS need that other OS lack off. I heard games on linux run like shit, so we need something good like windows because it works well there

>>227 Its not the OS fault that games dont work, because developers need to spend time porting things to make sure it does Making an operating system is more of an artistic endeavour than anything else

we would call it 'the wire' like in experimental lain

Sorry anons, but the fact that you so severily underestimate what it takes to write an OS pretty much guarantees that you'll never make one. But I mean, go ahead, have fun >>156 >emacs but modern The fuck is that supposed to mean? What does "modern" mean to you, and what are the charactertics of emacs you want to have? An editor that looks "modern" is achievable through emacs configuration (see the NANO project on r/emacs), an editor that is recent, trendy and extensible in a programming language that is "modern" is vs code (it's based on packages like emacs), an editor that is keyboard controlled and "modern" in a way could be neovim. >fundamentally integrated into the OS This is a completely unrelated request to the previous one, but just as vague. EXWM allows you to use Emacs as a window manager, so instead of your TWM you run emacs directly and it manages all your windows. The Acme text editor is very well integrated with the underlying plan 9 operating system; for example, iirc you can type the name of a system command directly in the toolbar, the press it with the middle mouse button and it gets executed on the currently selected text.

I mean, It'd be cool but >>276 is also right. maybe we could make a simple command line OS to start like Osaka OS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYImR-wrTV0 of course that in of itself is a long ordeal. but it'd probably be more achievable at the current state unelss we just want to take a pre-exissting operating system and mod it that could also be done?

>>230 >the wired damn it it sounds so good, I really want to be our OS make into reality I'm requesting something: can someone make the wired logo into internet character image please?

>>276 I can't imagine a modern emacs, it is such a byzantine piece of software. there are a few extensible text editors like textadept (lua) and vscode (js) now but that's pretty much their only point in common with emacs read the tanenbaum minix book, you can write a unix clone in less than a semester check https://wiki.osdev.org/Projects or use the github explore thing

we should also add a default internet w3b browser, wich one is good?

does someone has a guide to OS I can read please?

>>684 learn C and then assembly x86... read some book about OS: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Operating-Systems-Andrew-Tanenbaum/dp/013359162X https://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Three-Easy-Pieces/dp/198508659X https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Architecture-Quantitative-Approach-Kaufmann/dp/0128119055 https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Computing-Systems-second-Principles/dp/0262539802 https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/PO.System.pdf https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Linux-Kernel-Third-Daniel/dp/0596005652 look into existing OS and guides: https://github.com/o-oconnell/minixfromscratch https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2011/xv6.html http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/ https://tuhdo.github.io/os01/ https://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page

>>688 thank you

here is a hello world kernel in zig (0.11.0) https://files.catbox.moe/7cokdu.gz (based on https://wiki.osdev.org/Bare_Bones) if don't know where to start from untar, compile and execute (qemu) with: tar -xzf 7cokdu.gz zig build-exe kmain.zig -target x86-freestanding --script linker.ld qemu-system-i386 -kernel kmain -display curses

>>690 first thing to do os to programing the external device a computer can feature (cd, ram, usb, and other connections)

>>691 >>690 no wait, I made a mistake. first thing is to do is to create a executable and handling of the programs

>>692 nevermind, I don't know where to begin
