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
In short, to write an OS, solo, you must be clinically insane. R.I.P. to the master 🙏
Yeah it’s definitely how OS were originally made.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.
But Terry Davis is the greatest programmer that ever lived chosen by God to create his temple
I mean ya but it’ll literally drive you insane like literally
Andreas Kling wrote Serenity OS. Plenty of smaller OS projects have been written by just one dev. Key is smaller.
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.
Linus Torvalds did it. But OSes and computers were simpler in 1990. Still, an amazing achievement for one person and why he’s on programming Mt Rushmore
I’m currently doing it, it’s the hardest thing ever but somehow doing it
TERRY THE GOOOOOAAAAT
The next logical question is if one could make an OS solo IN scratch
It can be done but you really have to love low level stuff and coding.
Depends highly on how generous we're going to be when we say "OS".
I love those Terry Davis web cams videos man. It’s sad the dude was so out there that he wound up going out the way he did, because he truly was a programming savant, but those vids are great. “I don’t trust that fish…”
Hagrid
So did Torvalds.
I made a functioning operating system in 10 hours solo 😅
Linux from scratch is a solid platform to learn the ins and outs of undertaking such a massive project
I think it mostly depends on if you want to make an operating system other people will want to use or not. If you just want to learn, the old book The Xinu Approach was written to walk you step-by-step through creating a unix-like operating system as an educational process.
86DOS was written in 6 weeks as a CPM clone. Linux was written quickly as a 386 POSIX OS because Linus wanted to play around
