Cool OS! Love the old style thinkpads.

This is incredible work, congrats!

Nice! I was just thinking about an old eee pc I have somewhere and how I might revive it. What's the performance like?

Great job! How did you get started in this ? Seems like a lot to figure out on your own

been messing with old laptops myself so i get it - hitting a milestone like this feels way better when its your own code running for real

Congrats! Looks great coming from someone who had a Commodore PET 2001 in 1977. I have been toying with KolibriOS and MenuetOSx64, but I would sure like to try rolling my own OS. You did it! Keep truckin'!

Is there any chance of booting this on a raspberry pi someday?

I'd love a non-linux minimal single-user OS that boots in <1 second

Nice job. Impressive.

Oh man I wish such big accomplishments were documented on video like Andreas Kling did with SerenityOS https://www.youtube.com/@awesomekling .. learned a lot from his videos

I think the default system font should be a more condensed variant; it would make the system look much more refined. There are a number of areas where it's clear you need more horizontal space for characters. Each character should have less width, and there should be as little space between the characters as possible - just a single pixel ought to be enough at the font size and resolution you're using.

I don't know anything about your font system; I'm assuming it's fixed width bitmap fonts? I don't know how hard it would be to make these changes within your codebase so if it's too much work then don't worry about it.

I've been building a web OS site from scratch for a while now (not as technically impressive as what you're doing) and I just got through a total rewrite of the font classes, so it's at the top of my mind.

I wish I could spare time like this to work passion projects.

Forget practicality.

Forget "go to market" strategy.

Forget target fit.

Just build and learn.
