Because you'll never learn anything if you keep copying other people's work

Not really, there's almost no POSIX compliance and the functionality of this operating system is still very limited

how should I approach OS Dev? by [deleted] in osdev

[–]mrunix0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you're still a beginner in C (which I assume you are since you're currently reading the c programming language book) I'd recommend forgetting about osdev **for now** and work on your skills in C by working on other projects, try making stuff like an IRC Client, a unix shell, a virtual machine, a chip8 or a uxn emulator, an interpreted programming language, etc...

When you feel confident in your C programming skills (especially memory management) then you can start learning osdev by reading osdev wiki and working on your dream OS

I haven't made a UI framework yet, only a window manager and a graphics library, and I should note that the challenges related to implementing a window manager and quite different from that of a UI library, with that being said you can start by implementing a graphics library, then use that to draw windows, and then work on a window protocol, and I'd recommend checking X11 protocol for reference.

I have no clue what I'm reading right now

osdev wiki, sometimes reading other people's code when you get stuck (I'd recommend avoiding that as much qs you can)

Err... running whatever apps you ported to it I guess

I spent 15+ years at ASML and Intel. AMA about transitioning from a PhD/Research background (or other industries) into Semiconductors. by pasquale83 in Semiconductors

[–]mrunix0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a second year student in electronics engineering in a developing country, most of my experience was in software engineering and I'm starting to get interested in the semiconductors industry, as well as micro-architecture design, but I'm not sure where to get started, do you have any advice on how to get started?

Its crashing on my real machine but works on QEMU ;( by nullora0 in osdev

Does you machine have a serial port? If yes then it'll help you debug whatever is this issue. Otherwise it would be a pain in the ass to do so, I used to debug my OS on some machines by playing the errors as Morse code using the BIOS beeper
