Has anyone ever made their own operating system here on /g/? Even just compiled it without a tool like debootstrap, like doing non-automated LFS?

No one who was online today, really?
Did I really hang at a board this normie...

>>105878341 (OP)
this image is completely fake btw

Still not a letter on OSdev itt, it's not looking good my dudes and dudettes...

>>105879404
its 12:00 in europe. a saturday
in usa were 0:00 to 6:00 during a friday night
im slightly surpised that the board is active as it is

>>105879384
i always wanted to be smart it never worked out

>>105879384
>>105879483
also i tinker with gpgpu stuff
but i know fuck all about osdev specifically
thats how i ended up lurking this thread-
curiosity

>>105879393
it's crazy how much people care about shit like this
newsflash: if it's very sunny where you live your people will have darker skin

>>105879524
they didnt yet get the memo that origin is an explanation for things, not a substitute for a personality

Terry David did his own OS and he was a /g/ anon.

This anon did an OS too but I don't think he's around /g/ anymore.

There are probably more.

>Procrastination
I mean if you're really into OS Dev why not go and do it reddit cuck?

I ran LFS for at leat 5 years, after migrating from, ugh, gentoo
I also made an automated version with a package manager which installed a fully symlinked linux system

>>105879549
Oh right, Terry A. Davis. I was more talking about anons who are still here, but alright.

Very gay, also he has never posted source code or an ISO.
>>105879503
I'm working on it with a much less "purist" approach, bc I'm just going to use Linux for a kernel at first.
Currently figuring out how to go from kernel to bootable image, then I'll look at shaving down kernel build times.

>>105879623
Did you use a pre-existing package manager and pre-existing packages for that?

>>105879634
no I followed the LFS manual and downloaded all tarballs manually
later I made perl scripts for bootstrap and a package manager that automatically detected newer versions
not saying it's decent code, but it worked

I'm gonna come clean, this is also a Chuddha-makes-an-OS stealth thread.
I just finished automatically applied patches that remove rust and bcachefs from the kernel source tree, and setting up the remote build server. Now I'm going to minimize the Kconfig.

>>105879662
Sounds neat, I've never programmed with perl. Is it a good medium between Bash and Python or something?

>>105879718
tbf perl is what I knew at the time from lamp webdev and python/gentoo combo was bloated and slow af.
it's not great but at least it's fast and since I ran it on my server I could do updates without breaking anything because everything was symlinked. this meant I could easily revert to older installed packages whenever something broke unlike other distros

>>105879718
so you are basically working on custom kernel?
yes you could think of perl as being a good medium between bash and python

>>>105879718(You)
>so you are basically working on custom kernel?
>yes you could think of perl as being a good medium between bash and python
No, I'm working on a "distro" but one with a more Windows-y or Mac-y "one set of apps" design, including custom apps. It will have kernel modifications but I only have a kernel module (or two) to meme in the startup log planned.
No package repo intended and I'm also going to make some unconventional choices like passwordless root as the default way to use the system.
And once it works I may port it to a BSD so that it becomes a "real" OS in the sense of being independent of (one particular) kernel. I'm never calling it a distro lol.
XML-based packages, that makes plenty of sense.
Not sure what you meant here >>105879775, you could update without breaking things bc you kept multiple versions patching them in with symlinks a la guix / nix, and bc of your perl setup not being updated along?

>>105880445
not sure passwordless root is the way to go unless you trust every single package you ever install / script you ever run
>symlinks a la guix
I glanced this not knowing it and it does seem a little different
my distro installed all packages and versions under
/var/pkg/grep/1.2.3/bin/grep
/var/pkg/grep/1.2.4/bin/grep
/usr/bin/grep -> /var/pkg/grep/1.2.3/bin/grep
then my script can unlink grep 1.2.3 and link 1.2.4
every single thing in /bin, /lib, /etc, ... is a symlink

>>105880560
not my problem if user clicky .exe from kazaa

>>105880560
They go a bit further and put the installed packages under their reproducible build hashes, but then they do the same thing and symlink them in.
It's a nice trick, I might do the same a few versions in.

>>105880729
very interesting, I guess this way you could have different build flags as well
would be very trivial to adjust my script if I ever picked it up again

>>105879393
>Meanwhile in reality

Pathetic.

>>>>105879718(You)
lol

>>105880774
Didn't think of that, I just binned it as "then you can stop caring about versioning systems and commits, basically making it as free as possible" but yes that implies it works for code + ephemeral build environment (build flags put into build sys invocations) too.
>>105880817
geg okay I'll do it.

It's Chuddha + Linux.

what you retards fail to see (while focusing on looks) is that theres very little genetic diversity within europe, a norwegian isnt much different than a englishman, that in turn is not much different than a german, french and italian in that order.
the continent with the most genetic diversity out there is africa.

Nta, gets my noggins goin'. If it wasn't /g/ did... did *my* reddit bully terry to deaf?

wasnt he a lolcow in the kiwi forums? doubt /g or plebbit took part on his bullying.

I went through LFS to make tiny images for VM's, but went back and then automated it myself. Might be doing something similar for work soon.
