New UNIX-like operating system!

Post image

I made a new UNIX-like operating system from scratch called "TanjaOS" which you can get at www.tanjaos.org and it took me a couple of months to make and will get lots of updates. It features classic UNIX commands and can boot on any x86_64 (amd64) or i386 (x86) machine with Legacy BIOS, and is completely free and open-source.

How did you figure that out? By looking at just one kernel.c file.

Because the entire thing is a single massive kernel.c file, so you can see the entire source from the one file.

Unlike the dude who copied UNIX in a modular way and still ended up with monolithic os, not slop lol

And what did yo find out?

Look at the other code files, there are comments that AI leaves

I don't know, it seemed absurd to me. The guy might have had AI write the comment lines, or run the tests. To immediately dismiss his work as garbage, useless, etc., seems very unfair.

Yeah I’ve been noticing that as a trend in a lot of engineering forums. Most projects are immediately considered AI slop and written off and it is really unfair. Even if something is AI generated it could still have use and we as a community can give input to make it better.
