Hey all, As a follow up to my relatively successful series in x86 Assembly of last year[1], I started making an OS that fits in a boot sector. I am purposefully not doing chain loading or multi-stage to see how much I can squeeze out of 510bytes.
It comes with a file system, a shell, and a simple process management. Enough to write non-trivial guest applications, like a text editor and even some games. It's a lot of fun!
It comes with an SDK and you can play around with it in the browser to see what it looks like.
The aim is, as always, to make Assembly less scary and this time around also OS development.

I'm not a native speaker, so maybe somebody else can paint a better picture. I used it just because part of my extended family comes from there (:
EDIT: s/prefix/suffix/

A prefix goes before something.

-li is a different version of the same ending

-ele is used a lot to denote something small, cute, adorable; maybe think of it as kind of like ちび (chibi) or -ちゃん (-chan) in Japanese.
Mann (man) => Mannele https://cookingwithbrendagantt.net/mannele-st-nicholas-bread...
Katz (cat) => katzele (kitty)
The suffix can be liberally (ab)used with any - native or foreign - word or (sur)name to emphatic or comedic effect.
Here I kinda guessed the -le use was such but around here I would have said "OSele" (oh-ess-uh-luh)
