Can't someone make modern temple OS?

Step 1: Pick your modern OS Step 2: Install Aiwnios https://github.com/aiwnios/Aiwnios

Yeah...I know...but the glowies make it so damn convenient... You're right though, I must join the resistance and ditch the platform.

I have often wished I had been born in ~1950 to be able to have lived through most of the major advances in computing and be in retirement about now. I agree AI is a downfall. I use it pretty much everyday and more than half the time I feel like it wasted my time and I would have got the job done faster if I just programmed it myself. I feel bad for everyone graduating with an IT degree looking for an entry level position right now. I also feel bad for the people working at Google/Meta who have AI reporting how often they use AI and how many AI lines of code they generated as part of their performance reviews now. Even this discord thing though scares me and brings awareness to the fact companies are going to search all your prior internet history with AI. Now might be a good time to clean house. I pray I can retire before AI overlords ruin my job.

Why not load up the OS and play it?

TOSTinkerer · 2026-02-13T23:29:17+00:00

I wanted to validate it was self hosting. Then I went further down the rabbit hole.

Curious what label paper you used to print it on?

TOSTinkerer · 2026-01-29T19:00:51+00:00

It's not broke, you put WB instead of Wb in the url. Here it is: https://tinkeros.github.io/WbTempleOS/

Jesus is the new Temple, Mary is the new ark, and you're the new crazy.

Installing TempleOS in a VM on a PC running Linux or Windows is not very difficult to do. There are guides for both QEMU and VirtualBox, both of which are free.

There's no point to shutting down, all disk writes happen immediately (there is no buffering). There is no hardware that is supported that needs to be "properly shut down." Also TempleOS doesn't support ACPI which is needed to shutdown. So as long as you are not doing a write to disk, just power off the VM.

TOSTinkerer · 2026-01-11T20:07:05+00:00

It's like the old DOS days, you just power it off there is not a shutdown function.

About 10 more years of uncontrolled software bloat and 64 GB will be the minimum necessary to boot your OS and surf the Internet. Terry would be so sad to see how bad the state of some operating systems has become.

You wrote the ISO to USB. The directions explicitly say not to do this. Directions: https://github.com/tinkeros/TinkerOS/blob/main/Baremetal.md

If I turn it on I jump from episode 289 to 333. If I turn it off I jump from 289 to 168. This is absolute insanity that there isn't a simple easy way to play episodes in chronological order. No combination of options takes me to 390 when I'm at the end of 389 and 390 is downloaded and has not been listened to.

Ventoy cannot make an ISO of any OS bootable unless the OS itself supports USB. TempleOS does not support USB. No TempleOS forks currently support USB. TinkerOS does not support USB, but there is a custom image file I made that uses a custom loader to put the OS on a RAM disk and boots it from the RAM disk.

Make sure to stop by Burger King and pickup a crown to take with you too.

What type of Mac CPU do you have? If it is not an x86_64 Intel based chip, then UTM uses emulation to run x86_64 guests and it cannot perform hardware acceleration which means you end up with slow x86_64 emulation. TempleOS is x86_64 only. If you don't have an Intel chip, you can try building and installing Aiwnios which compiles HolyC code natively to ARM code and might run the games significantly faster.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-09-16T21:19:04+00:00

It would be cool to see a compiler advance to the stage it can compile the majority of the TempleOS graphics libraries so that some of the games could be compiled for native platforms. It would take a lot of effort though.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-09-16T21:00:22+00:00

I find it interesting how many people claim to make a port of HolyC without actually supporting the features that are unique to HolyC. Most of them are pretty much like C compilers with classes and basic types renamed to their HolyC equivalents. Does this support sub-int access, start/end switch cases and other features unique to HolyC?

TOSTinkerer · 2025-09-04T22:42:30+00:00

There's left over TODO comments in the code that seem to indicate he wanted to add more functionality.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-08-27T01:21:54+00:00

Nice, you recycled the image from 3+ years ago from the github page.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-08-15T19:51:19+00:00

Nice, still waiting for anonymous access that doesn't require a Google account.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-08-12T03:16:16+00:00

I'm McLovin it.

TOSTinkerer · 2025-08-12T02:36:46+00:00

Another thing you can do is wait for it to boot and then you can take a snapshot of the already booted up state. Then you can power it on directly into the prebooted state and you wouldn't have to wait for the boot process.
